I think I wrote a post regarding the 14 names on our 1992 roster already….but we still need to include the names again as far as I’m concerned as well as their associated nicknames……
Josh Canale (“The Bull Oxen”)
Kasey Canale (“The Calf”)
John “J.R.” Workman (“Hack!”)
Jon Jackson (“The ‘Wiley’ Jackson”)
Robb Turner (“The Reverend”)
Ivan Moreno (Did he have a nickname?)
Brendan Cowsill (“B”)
Yves Brancheau (Did he have a nickname?)
Lance Evans (Don’t know if he had an official nickname but I called him “Evan” with the “s” removed from his last name)
David Fielder (“Thunder”)
Kirk Hagge (“Haggs”)
Dan Bir (did he have a nickname?)
Jim Parque (“Vo”)
John Gabrielson (“Gabe”)
And finally ….our “illustrious” coaching staff:
Phil Hallford (“The General”)
“Gee”
Henry Fernandez (“Hank”)
Scott Anderson (“The Weapon”)
As some of you may have noted from my earlier writings I do like to bounce back and forth between using everyone’s real name or their nickname so as not to make the writings “too” journalistic (or objective for that matter)…..you gotta remember when I write about this stuff all objectivity will be thrown (and quite logically i might add) directly out the window and into the proverbial forewinds……
C’mon now you know how I do it…..When I’m writing about Verdugo….I like to keep things one-sided and totally biased in favor of Verdugo….and really, would any of you expect anything less from me?
One final note…..I’ve kept in touch with several players through the years and for that I am grateful…..it seems when I talk with Robb Turner the subject comes up every once in a while to bring back the Verdugo caps again and get them fitted and done professionally….I think it’s a brilliant idea and to everyone out there let me know if you’re interested ….we will spare no expense on these caps this time around ….original color scheme and logo!
and…..as always….expect ‘Ol Gee to continue in his writing tradition which abuses and overuses his favorite thing…..the “ellipsis”
