As promised, here is the video clip of my brief visit to the mound during the Cubs fantasy camp coaches vs. campers "Big Game" at Hohokam Field. A big thank you to Spencer Cook for capturing the moment on video, and to Ron Coomer for egging me on in my Mark Fidrych tribute. (He's the one yelling "Come on Fidrych! Attaboy Mark!" from the coaches' dugout.) Man, that was fun...

I don´t have the first clue who Mark Fidrych is, but this is hysterical anyway. Well done!

Whaaaat?!? Reed, you went to school in Ann Arbor, yet have no idea who Mark Fidrych was? What the hell are they teaching at U of M these days?
