Doug Bair and I played in the minors for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was the number two draft pick that year (1970) behind Craig Reynolds. Doug is a quiet guy with a great sense of humor.
In one of our days off in the instructioal league in Bradenton, we went to the just-opened Disney World. Doug bought a life-like Frankenstein mask. One night after practice we got in his new black-and-gold Corvette and took a drive through the streets of Bradenton. I was riding shotgun, and Doug had me put on the mask as we drove around. We would pull next to other drivers at stop lights and I would try to scare them. Sometimes we did and other times people got mad; good thing we were in his Corvette.
