Culver pitched another gem at Hot Stove
A tip of my Dodger blue cap to George Culver. For those of you who did not attend the Jan. 23 "Hot Stove" dinner with Tommy Lasorda, you missed a fantastic night. The man is a legend, a Hall of Famer, a great speaker and a great guy.
George has brought to our town many great speakers, including Don Drysdale, Jim Lefebure, Steve Garvey, David Stewart, Bill Russell, Maury Wills, Sean Maloney, Jim Tracy and Steve Yeager, just to name a few.
Lasorda was kind enough to sign a cap for a young man in a wheelchair and talked to him and told jokes to him. He talked to the Bakersfield College baseball squad and lectured them on the importance of playing as a team and listening to their coach. Lasorda was the frosting on the cake and a real funny guy.
I want to thank George Culver for all the hard work he has done for BC baseball and for baseball in Bakersfield and all of Kern County.
