Quick question on Porn

I thought I was the only one who was smart enought to pick up Williams. That kid is going to be a star.

 

Andre Rison, Glen Rice and Jeff Grayer all played for the same Flint Northwestern basketball team in the mid 1980s. That team had six guys get Division I scholarships.

 

That's an unfair generalization.
We also think about food ...
and sleep ...
and TV ...
and football ...
and ... well ... other stuff.
So there.

 

I was talking about baseball!

 

Let me try to answer both questions. First the porn...I believe they shoot different versions. Perhaps the soft core first and then the hard core money shot or visa versa. It is all done in one sitting I believe. The HBO show Pornacopia covered this.
As to the high school teams. The best I remember was Baltimore Dunbar back in the 80's. Mugsy, Reggie Lewis, David Wingate, Reggie Williams and perhaps one other. Great team and national champs.

 

I thought Strawberry and Davis were cousins.
Or maybe not, but it seems like Davis had a cousin who also played in the bigs.
You know, I think it would be interesting to find some of those bigs vs. bigs matchups on the high school level and write about them. Like Strawberry vs. Elway for a city title in '79, track them all down, write about them and also the other players on both teams. I'm sure you could find hundreds of other similar stories or even those where one did make it, but the other crashed and burned.

Also, much thanks to the three_bags and BadgerBeer for answering the porn question.

 

as 21 said, eric davis was also on darryl strawberry's high school team at crenshaw.

the starting outfield made the majors. the team had a few other guys drafted but none panned out.

the michael sokolove book that screwball links to above was terrific.

i don't know or give a shit about the porn question.

 

my memory indeed fails me. sparky anderson went to dorsey. i always get davis and sparky mixed up.

 

Eric Davis played at Fremont, not Crenshaw.
