Testing the memory of the old farts here....

Already since I'm asking this question, my memory sucks. Remember when they use to bring pitchers in using a golf cart? For the life of me I can't remember when that practice stopped. Or for that matter....why?

Any of you old bastards remember?

It was 1992 when mlb decided driving a pitcher 100 yards was not the image they wanted to project

I also seem to recall it wasn't just golf carts, but also cars...

Are you sure? it seemed like they stopped it long before that. I also think after the golf cart they used cars.


Sorry about repeating your post Steve, half way through the response I went to answer the phone. But yeah both were used I just don't remember when.

repeating my post??? Put it this way... in 1992, I was in 8th grade... so I had seen a few years of baseball to that point... BUT... it couldn't have been too much before that though... so 1992 sounds about right
