tribune july 13 1988 cs old pro shows them how it is done there will be other monday nights spent down at the ball park playing fun baseball with the boys there will even be the odd daz zling fielding play where momen- tarily a onceaweek athlete takes on the appearance of a sea soned pro but if the guys keep the thing going another 100 years there will never be another drama to equal what went on last monday night just before quitting time at 11 pm in the stouffville park for you nonjocks out there those people who would just as soon take a walk in the garden as tune the blue jays in on the tube i from where i live bruce stapley must point out that this is not real ly a baseball story its an account of one mans refusal to accept the usual restrictions imposed by the aging process both hassard has known the glory of a stanley cup victory the stouffville resident played for the toronto maple leaf teams of the early 50s teams that knew what it was like to win- his earlier years in stouffville saw him impart his knowledge of things sporting to the likes of keith acton and many others who have achieved various levels of success but now at the age of 59 bob is quite happy to ride his bike down to the park every monday night and play a rather casual brand of baseball with all the other over 25 year olds and while everybody still re spects his savvy and his skills there can be a tendency to go a little easy on the elder statesman so when old has found himself caught in a run down between third base and home plate on mon day there were some like my self who were more than a little concerned for the old veteran a run down is perhaps the most grueling ordeal a ball player can go through as he is required to sprint back and forth in an effort to elude the tag of two three or more opposing players bent on touching him with the ball its a test of stamina for even the best conditioned ball player but here was has darting this way and that a look of grim deter mination all over his face as he played the game like a caged animal back and forth he went eluding men 25 years his junior at the peak of the action there were five redshirted members of the other team in pursuit surrounding him trying to finally put an end to this contest i wanted to run out and yell time and insist they just let has go back to third but they had no intentions of letting him off the hook it was after all still a com petition has made one last desperation dart towards the plate the third baseman made a quick toss to wards the catcher surely this time theyd get him he had to be out of gas by now but the ball bounced off a glove the catcher scrambled to re trieve it has dove head first to wards the plate landing on his stomach six feet short of his goal in a final determined effort he jumped up on his bands and knees crawling the last few feet slapping the plate with out stretched hand he was safe his team mates poured out onto the field as one both teams broke into thunderous applause the old guy had defied all the odds teaching his juniors a tex tbook lesson on one of the finer points of baseball we offer special summer school improvement courses for students special
