As most of you know, I have found THE TAPE. Last night (New Year’s Eve) I got ahold of a VCR. Plugged it in around 10:30 PM. Let’s just say when midnight rolled around I was watching VERDUGO highlights!!!! What a way to Ring in the New Year!!!!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Brancheau for not only filming most of the season, but also for putting together a copy for me at the end of that magical season!!!!
Amazingly, The Tape is in perfect condition. I was blown away. And get this….I went to sleep around 3:00 AM and there were highlights from two more games on that tape that I didn’t even watch. I didn’t time it from beginning to end….but I have to say that there is a good FOUR hours of pure VERDUGO on this Tape.
Close-ups of just about everyone at some point during the season. Great Audio where you can hear guys barking out “AHHHH!!!!” or “QUICK!!!!….PANTHERLIKE!!!!”
Pictures of great celebrations at the end of games. Gatorade Cooler. Even (so far) I have seen THREE shots of THE RALLY WIG. One shot where Kasey was wearing it underneath his hat in the dugout as we mounted a rally.
We have live video of BullOxen wearing that towel under his hat on that 105 degree day.
HACK and Turner doing a forearm bash after HACK bombed one outta the park. I can’t believe the bodies we had flying around the field….giving it up 24/7 for Verdugo!!!!
We have BullOxen’s homerun where I said to him “BOMB!!!!” before he hit it.
And the list goes on and on and on.
I will get it transferred this week to DVD and get copies to everyone. I know for sure I will be using my own copy (along with footage from THE BASH) to edit something cool into what will hopefully become the Official Verdugo Video. That thing is definitely going on Youtube.
So I wanted to tell everyone how surprised I was with the quality of the Tape after all of these years and the fact that all of the magic of ’92 is ON THAT TAPE!!!!
Incredible!!!!
Happy New Year to all Verdugo-ites!!!!
Watching this tape has really inspired me. Got some great ideas on what to do with The Blog now.
Oh, yeah. And we got BOTH wins against Fat Jody on the Tape as well. AND….the Chatsworth brawl is on it, too.
What a Tape. What a Team. ’92 was definitely our finest hour!!!!
Happy New Year to anyone associated with VERDUGO!!!!
