⚾ 🥎 You guys remember John Kruk? Here's an article about Montana Fouts from Softball America along with an interesting tweet I ran across.

The article touches on injuries with Dowling and Jenkins (they would have made a difference) along with how Tana dealt with her injury.

If I remember correctly, he visited several years ago and he's teased coming back every season since. He and Murphy are pretty tight... Kruk did do some work for ESPN during the WCWS a while back too. One of the better personalities in sports, IMO.

While people bitch about the "slanted coverage" they "feel" during Bama games they don't understand how tight he is with those crews: ESPN specifically.

I remember him physically pushing a Braves player off the base on a tag play at first base and the umpire calling the runner out.

Are you thinking about Kent Hrbek? Kruk may have done it too (which would just add to his legend status, IMO).

You are correct.

Don't even get us Braves fans going on that one. Should have won a World Series that year. That call still stings even though I was a little boy.
