Perry:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember. It really @#!% me off! I knew if I got involved in this discussion it would eventually come up! As a Vitucci you, of course, had to be a pain in the ass hitter.
Your brother was a total monster to deal with. Didn't he hit .600 or .700 in little league one year?
p.s. Now that I think about it, that ump must have just felt sorry for you since I had you struck out numerous times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sick of you guys whining about "could have been" glory days. Back in my day baseball was a way of life and we never choked to the Levittown teams. You think Vinny was bad, try dealing with Mr. Winslow as your baseball coach. He makes Bill Parcells look like Jim Fassel and on top of that the guy knew nothing about baseball.
I want to hear about the spring 2005 game and I'm telling you now-- I better get some playing time. At 65, I can still teach you middle age hacks a thing or two about baseball.

Enzo:
Don't even tell me that Mr. Winslow coached Varsity Baseball. If my memory serves me correctly, he was my gym teacher at the Manor School and he had a serious pot belly. Nice, nice man, though and he ran a heck of a dodge ball game.
Regarding the whines about the old days, if Springstein can sing about Glory Days and make money at it, then we should be able to talk about how good we were and how we were only held back by coaches, bad landscaping in the outfield, that horrible all dirt infield, Levittown's cheating, etc., etc.
I would otherwise support Perry staying, but he did bring up that unfortunate incident where he worked out a walk, so I may have to support your efforts . . . but then again, what kind of name is Enzo, anyway?!

Enzo--- don't start in with me, your days are over.
By the way, Mr. Winslow never coached baseball, though he is in SHS Hall of Fame as a football coach from the early '60's. I saw him in Montauk about three years ago and he looked exactly the same, even better. He's got to be in his late 70's and looks fabulous. Our Levittown teams never cheated either, we are just That good, and magical, that it may just seem that way. Sorta like our Yankees of a few years ago.
Sabes- I have a date and more info on this years game, I'll email you.
Tom- just to let you know- Enzo, and all those other knuckhead names that posted negative replies, are all written by Anthony messin around with us.

The funniest thing about Winslow is that he would play a calisthenic tape that would culiminate with us running laps around the gym. The thing about it is that he would play the "Rocky" theme music while we were running, which back then was the equivalent of a triple dose of ritalin/testosterone for kids. Everybody, and I mean everybody-- wimpy kids, skinny kids, fat kids, docile kids would get so pumped up by the music that they would literally starting beating the crap out of one another while doing their laps. It was like a Roller Derby without the skates, only more violent. During this carnage, Winslow was sitting in his office reading the Daily News. Man, the 70's were a great decade.
And by the way Perry-- I have no affiliation to Enzo Fanelli, so I don't what you're talking about.

Winslow was great---- I was told this by a teacher that I will not reveal that during report cards Winslow would just look at the persons name on the sheet and give him an A, B, C or D based soley on that persons name.... But the funny thing was that gym grades would show up next to students names that moved away months earlier!
Sabes... By the way it was Johnny Antonelli and Vito Tagliossi that told me that you were ghosting as Enzo, and I trust those guys.

I was reading the other post about Dodge ball with Mr Winslows class. Playing dodgeball and hockey with those plasic sticks we used to beat each other up with was great. Thank God they have dodge ball on TV now. I never thought it had so many rules.I thought the idea of the game was to throw the balls at the fat kid. Meaning me. One game nobody mentioned yet is a game we use to play in grade school during lunch break.It was called "KILL THE GUY WITH THE BALL". I have an idea on how this came about.Some kid must have seen a rugby game on tv and did not understand the rules,so he thought the idea of the game was to ponce on whoever had the ball. And PONCE we did. I remember stacks of kids maybe 20 high in a pile.The poor kid who had the ball at the bottom really got sacked. Kids would keep jumping on the pile.Not letting the ones on the bottom get out.The teachers would have to break it up most of the time and finally outlawed the game.Thank God they did because I remember a bunch of guys got hurt.Iwould love to write how I would get the ball and run until tackled.But that would be a lie.When the ball was given to me,I could not wait to get rid of it.It took that pile of kids sometimes 10 - 15 minutes to get off one another and that is a long time with all those kids on you.I look back at it as a great time.But back then with this game I was a wussy.

I completely forgot about being caught on the bottom of one of those giant piles but the terror came back quickly when I read this! I really thought I was about to die from lack of air because the weight of all those bodies made it impossible to breathe. The field between the Manor and Junior High school was the spot. And it may have been 10 minutes for it to break up but man it felt like hours. Does anyone remember jumping off the Junior High roof into snow drifts???

I think members of this discussion should be aware that the first Seaford High School Graduating Class was in 1958. My brother was that year. Prior to that year other area High Schools (Wantagh possibly) graduated students from Seaford.

I wasn't aware of that Robin, thanks. I always thought Seaford's first class was around '62 or so.
