We were talking about the things we did as kids and how often we played sports in neighborhood games. Baseball games, with only 4 players on a each team & one of those players, was someone's 7 year old little brother and we made him the full-time catcher.
I almost doubled over in laughter when I heard those words. I hadn't heard them, in 40 years. I thought it would be a spectacular name for a book and even put some effort into seeing what I could do to trademark the name. It was just one of those phrases, that evokes such wonderful memories ... & could only have been made up by a 10 year old boy.
