Their span of playing could be like mine, just one day you lose it. What a rude awakening, he said. But the moment Gray seems to take the most joy in sharing wasnt any particular pitching performance, but when he made his first plate appearance raising his batting average from .000 to a perfect 1000.

My first time at bat in the Major Leagues I got a hit off of Milt Pappas of the Baltimore Orioles. Catcher Andy Etchebarren told a fastball was coming and I ripped it, he said. They stopped the game and gave me the ball. But not every game did Gray want to have stopped so he could take the game ball home. In 1971 after pitching for Salt Lake against the Albuquerque Dodgers Gray said he hung up his cleats, put on his street clothes and walked away from professional baseball forever.

Gray said during his last year in organized ball he had been traded from the Boston Red Sox to the San Diego Padres and moved to Salt Lake to pitch for the Padres minor league team. I had no velocity. The whole Dodger team was hitting me that night. My arm felt like it was going to fall off," he said. And Coach Don Zimmer, now manager of the Chicago Cubs, showed no mercy.

It was a 3-2 ball game for the Dodgers Gray said when Zimmer came out of the dugout and chewed him out for not backing up a play at home. I had had enough of that and I walked off the mound, Gray said. But it was during those seven years of baseball that most of FARMINGTON The 90 tmle-per-hour fastball of Major League pitcher Dave Gray is now just a memory. Ah, but what a memory it is. The year was 1964 when Gray, now a Smiths Food Store employee in Farmington, inked his first big league contract with the Boston Red Sox.

Gray, who at the time was attending Weber State Junior College, said he still remembers the day he signed the contract that showered him with a Major League minimum salary of $7,500 plus bonuses. I thought that was a lot of money, said the former Ogden High pitcher who had an unblemished record during his school years. I never lost a game in high school, he said with a proud gnn. And now he was in the big leagues and playing along side such baseball greats as recent Hall of Fame inductee Carl Yas-trzemski and future Cy Young award winner Jim Lonborg. We had a lot of good guys.

Boston is a great baseball city. And Fenway Park is unbelievable, he said. But we had a bad team, Gray said of the Sox who finished with a won-loss record of 70-92 that season. However, the disappointing record of the 1964 Red Sox team doesnt make the memories any less sweet. I remember walking into Yankee Stadium.

I was totally in awe, he said. And the Ogden native said he vividly remembers facing such stars as Mickey Mantle and Tony Kubek, now a TV-baseball announcer. When I faced Mantle he popped-up and flew out, he said. I had a lot of confidence Deer control, SALT LAKE CITY Several thousand anterless deer control permits and a smattering of elk and antelope permits, left over after the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) big game drawing Aug. 4, went on sale Monday, Aug.

then. I thought I could get anybody out. And I remember striking out three of four Yankees in one inning, Gray said. I threw hard, but I was really wild. Gray claims he was more wild than Chicago Cubs relief ace Mitch Williams, who answers to the name of Wild Thing.

But because of such a high velocity on his fastball Gray said his baseball career was cut short from what he had hoped would be forever to just seven years, including several years with minor league clubs. elk permits There are over 10,000 permits still available.
