[DTF955]

FIRST NAME Doug
LAST NAME Fowler
BIRTHDATE 9/13/1969 (Note - I entered Kindergarten when still 4, so I *would* be finished /whigh school at age 17 and thus should be draft eligible in June 1987, at 17, not 1988, unless you want to say my skills get pushed up a little playing in an Independent Leaague)
PREFERRED POSITION P
ALTERNATE POSITION 3B, 2B
SPECIALTY Stuff (Contact if an infielder)
2ND SPECIALTY Duration (Defense if an infielder)

OPTIONAL:
NICKNAME Doug "Fair or" Fowler (my Bermanism), Throwback (because I’d throw lots of complete games & insist on coming in in relief if I could; I’d be like Orel Hershiser int hat way); Maybe "Preacher," being a dedicated Christian who would never drink, smoke, cuss, etc.
HEIGHT 5’8"
WEIGHT 165
NUMBER 93 (I might just have gone with the "time" announced on a loudspeaker in a silly dream I had when little - just to be different. I’d also use Abbott & Costello jokes a lot w/their plays on words)
BATS (R/L/S) R
THROWS (R/L) R

Thanks. I’m thinking about getting the game, but more importantly, this would be gobs of fun because in real life, I’ve got 20/800 vision (mostly blind, can red this stuff w/nose a few inches from the screen), had a tiny bit of cerebral palsey, and some hearing loss, all since birth.
The above positions were what I dreamed of being as a kid. Just think of me like Orel Hershiser, the man who sang the Doxology in the dugout & on the Tonight Show after the ‘88 season.

And, indeed, I’m leaving the law practice & going to seminary (well, I’ll quit law once I become a preacher), and I’d likely be gearing toward a seminary as my career wound down as a ballplayer, too.
