John Rudisill figured he wouldn’t agree with every call made by the umpire on a given night of softball.
At least when it came to Dan Blair, however, the Stanley native could rely on him to add comedic value to an otherwise tense moment.
“I had my share of 5-for-5 games, 6-for-6 games. I never went 8-for-8 though, mostly because you don’t get that many opportunities to hit,” Rudisill said. “But the one time I did in 1977, I was playing for Howard & Carroll during a weeknight at East Lincoln Park. I batted left-handed and hit a ground ball to an area around shortstop that I believed would allow me to outrun the throw, and honestly I thought I beat it by a half-step or two.
