Who Called Me Andy Van Slyke?

rewind

I have a pretty good memory, but for the life of me I can't remember who called me Andy Van Slyke.  It was 1989 and my locker was in the St. Joe's building, and I remember vividly somebody bringing in an Andy Van Slyke baseball card from when he was with the Pirates and telling everyone he was my twin.

I stuck that card in my locker and it became a conversation starter for people who dropped by.  I had to admit, the Andy Van Slyke card did look like me, and I always liked the way he played...

This might be the card that was in my locker, but it's hard to say for sure.  By the way, there's a nice little Pirates blog called Where have you gone, Andy Van Slyke? for you Pittsburgh fans.
