Ricky was reviewing the great sports memories of his 23 years and the write-up below was attached to his 22nd. He wrote on his web site:
"22. The number of wins the 1995 Buckhead Baseball Major Royals had heading into the playoffs. That’s 22 more than their number of losses. That’s right, 22-0 and hands down the most talented team in Buckhead history. We, the Dodgers, headed into that semifinal showdown with a meager 12-10 record. I can’t say that the Royals weren’t a team in the truest sense of the word; they probably were. But I know for sure we were. Most of the Dodgers had played together for 2 years, and most of us went to Westminster, courtesy of the drafting of my dad in the Major Draft two years earlier. That included me, Charlie Yates, Noble Stafford, David Fenton, the late Si Sitterson, Judson Wallace, and Rollins Luckey. Wallace, an all-Ivy League hoopster and now playing professionally in Germany, pitched the game of his life against the Royals and somehow we prevailed, 8-6. How we got to 8-6 is almost all a blur now, although I do know I reached base 5 times in 5 at bats, although I think at least one was via error. Either way, it was then and always will be both the biggest upset in Buckhead Baseball history and the greatest moment of my playing career." ~Ricky Dimon |
