[QUOTE="Moose Stuff, post: 2988320, member: 71571"] Some elaboration and another story..... so I was tasked with protecting the pitcher warming up in the bullpen (old Arlington stadium had bullpens ON the field down each line) and playing catch with the RF between innings. I would sit on a stool just outside the bullpen seating area which was basically a smaller version of the dugout. When I wasn't looking Steve Howe lined the entire bottom of my stool with alcohol soaked cotton balls and in like the 3rd inning right as I sat down after playing catch with Ruben Sierra who whoever the hell was playing RF that day he ignited the damn thing and it just goes up in flames for like 5 seconds. Scared the living [ Finebaum ] out of me. Good times Steve. As for the other story.... Kid Kraddick used to bring a group of contest winners to a game like once a home stand and sit right behind the bullpen. One night as Steve is getting loose Kidd yells at him "hey Steve, that white line is CHALK, so don't try to snort it". Steve calmly walked over and says to Kidd "do you see that bag of baseballs right there? You're about to know what it feels like to have the entire thing shoved up your ass" and then threw a few more pitches and went into the game. That was the last time Kidd sat near the bullpen.
