Throwback Thursday!

Been around a loooong time.
Nice, but it's no BATTLE PROGRAMMERS ALLIANCE
No, certainly not, but nothing compares to that one.
I just met Jeff Brantley in Chattanooga while I was outside smoking a cigar.
I suppose I could look it up, but since this is Chit-Chat: Who's that?
Sorry for the delay, I was out of town (as you could tell) for the week up in Tennessee. Jeff Brantley was a pitcher and is now a sportscaster for the Reds.
It was crazy because I was just talking to this rando and the conversation went like this:
Me: Where you from?
Him: Oh, up in Ohio.
Me: My best friend growing up is a from Columbus. His family are huge fans of the Buckeye's.
Him: I'm sure, with them being from Columbus. What, I bet that you're a Tiger fan?
Me: Hell yeah! I love football, what about you?
Him: I'm OK with football, but I like baseball.
Me: Me, I'm cool with watching baseball live, I hate it on TV, but if you put it on the radio then I'm all ears! I love listening to it all day every day on the radio. Man, I was surprised at Houston's win last year, they were such a young team!
Him: Did you see the play that their 3rd baseman made the other night? It reminded me of (some play from the 70s that I had no idea what he was referencing... I was also a little drunk)!
Me: Growing up, keep in mind I'm only 26, but man I loved watching to Cal Ripken Jr play. I bought his glove and everything.
Him: Yeah... I used to pitch against him. (he finishes his cigarette) Well I need to go up to my room and go every some play-by-play. I do a little bit on TV for the Reds and need to get caught up.
I go up to my mom's room (my parents were at the conference too) and tell her what happened because she's a big sports fan and we start looking up keywords on Google like "TV", "Cincinnati Reds", and "Pitcher" until I found a picture of him and I was like "THAT'S HIM!"
