We found another guy last night. Where was he? Exactly where you’d find any former Verdugo tough-guy. At a PARTY!
I got his number from Moose.
Do I call or do I text? That was the question.
I’m calling. It rings. All I hear is really, really LOUD music and a bunch of people talking. I could then barely hear his voice. “Hello?”
“C’mon VIC!” I barked. Just like the days from 1990. “C’mon now VIC!”
What does VIC do? He hangs up on me!
I’m thinking….”Ya know?”
Ok. Plan B. Text!
TEXT NUMBER ONE: “C’mon now Vic you’re gonna hang up on Gee after all of the great ink I’m giving you on the Verdugo Blog? Damn That hurts!”
No response.
TEXT NUMBER TWO: “Don’t make us come find you and drag you to that reunion! We can’t have it without you!”
No response.
TEXT NUMBER THREE: “Even Ernie Diaz wants to be there and he didn’t even play for us! Same with Shane Cowsill! Now let’s go!”
I wait about five minutes. My phone makes that “Incoming Text” noise…….It’s VIC!
“Sup coach?!!! At a party…don’t have your number in my phone! Love the Blog! Boys of summer! Makes me think of why I played the game! Give you a shout!”
AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s Go VIC!!!!!! We need to hear just a couple of words from you……..the words are “I’m IN.”
And we’re still trying to make contact with a few others out there. We never give up at Verdugo!! I have a feeling this is going to end up being a pretty big event by the time we’re done. We got guys who didn’t even play for us that want to go to this thing.
Yes-sir-ree…………..Word is getting round……that Verdugo’s coming to town!!!!!!
