Moonlight Graham would have sympathized.

Graham, the character played by Burt Lancaster in Field of Dreams, played right field for two innings in one major league game but never came to bat.

Dave Ford, a former Orioles pitcher, had not pitched in two weeks when Earl Weaver brought him into a game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

On the first pitch, Robin Young got a bunt single.

The next batter was a lefthander.  Earl Weaver changed pitchers.

When the dejected Ford got back to the dugout, Mike Flanagan greeted him, “Did you have your good stuff?”

When it rains for two days at Fantasy Camp, you hear a lot of good stories from the former pros.

I, however, was stuck on two at bats from the one game I played on Wednesday.

The rain stopped and the fog finally lifted by 9:30 Saturday morning.

I was again hitless in two at bats.

But we won, and I’ll get a chance to inch closer to the Mendoza line (.200 batting average) when we play again at Camden Yards on June 21.
