Bubba's Baseball Bashers Bonanza
Southern Recruiting & Showcase Service



A High School Baseball Web message board classic!

I think I'll start a Southern Recruiting & Showcase Service: Bubba's Baseball Bashers Bonanza, LLC.

We'll hold ten (3-Day) events a year at a cost of $499.99 per event to the participants.
We will guarantee that you will be seen by a professional scout and a college recruiter;
Be listed on our website, which is fully accessible to every college coach in the nation that has the time to surf the internet for his players;
Get a Bubba's Best Bashers tee shirt;
Furnish you a place to stay (better bring your own sleeping bag and pillow); feed you once each day (hope you like pinto beans, cornbread, & onions - plenty of sweet ice-tea):
And a signed baseball from Bubba himself.

For a modest additional fee of $99.99 we will put you on The Bubba's Best Bashers List (throw in another $50 [cash only] and get in the top 100) . For an additional $49.99 we will send you a copy of this prestigious list (scouts/recruiters only have to pay $19.95 per copy).

Attend all of our events will automatically place you in the top 100 and we will send your Player Profile to every major league club in the USA with a special letter from Bubba himself recommending you as a quality player.

Our events will be played on the best outdoor facilities (available) in the following places:

#1- Chalkville, Alabama (Hittin'In The Lines Showcase)
#2- Smackover, Arkansas (Hittin' Homers Showcase)
#3- Ball Ground, Georgia (Fieldin' Grounders Showcase)
#4- Slaughter, Louisiana (Run Up the Score Showcase)
#5- Guntown, Mississippi (Radar Gun Special Showcase)
#6- Cement, Oklahoma (Runnin' Showcase)
#7- Gloverville, South Carolina (Catchin' The Ball Showcase)
#8- Ducktown, Tennessee (Dodgin' Them Heaters Showcase)
#9- Cut and Shoot, Texas (Tern The Double-Play Showcase)
#10- Blue Mound, Texas (Gettin' Shelled On The Mound Showcase)

We accept cash, money orders or cashier's checks only made out to Bubba's Baseball Bashers Bonanza, LLC. Absolutely NO REFUNDS.

Hurry while we have spots available! Sign up for all ten events and become a Golden Bubba Basher. This exclusive honor will entitle you to extra beans and cornbread, extra straw in the barn loft, use of the outhouse (w/ moistened corncobs) instead of the designated tree and $1.95 off each event bringing the grand total to only $4,980.49 for the complete package - what the hey, just make the check out for $4,900.00 even. AND, you will be automatically added to the Bubba's Best Bashers List in the top 100 and receive a FREE copy of the list. WHAT A BARGAIN?! Better hurry and sign up, before the limited number of players is reached.

Addendum 1: There will be plenty of room in the adjoining pastures for vendor booths. Call me for prices at BR-549.

Addendum 2: We will not accept food stamps, "shine", eggs, chickens, hogs or possums as payment.

Bama Bomber,
I would consider sending my son, but I noticed there is no ravioli on the menu.
No deal.

Dear Bubba's Baseball Bashers Bonanza, LLC,
Are there any discounts for fathers who only have 6 teeth? Or a family rate for 10 kids?

Pinto beans, cornbread, & onions - plenty of sweet ice-tea, can we substituts a few more beans if we bring our own drink (a little "shine")? Now that's what I call a four course meal! WooHoo! Do you have financing available for the whole package, say 15 years?
Hey, u my cousin?

What scares me so much is that someone from Tennessee might send a check.



Bama Bomber
posted January 02, 2002 12:36 PM

Gloveman,
According to Bubba no "shine" will be permitted at our showcases due to what we feel will be a heavy turnout among the three states of Tennessee (East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee & West Tennessee). It would be far too exciting for the outsiders and yanks. We also will require all guns to remain in their racks in the pickups.

Bubba said that only single branch cousins would count in any discounts to be given. If you are on a fork you'll have to pay full price. The single branch alone will probably cost him several thousand dollars in profits.

He also said he would accept gold teeth as partial payment IF they are proven to be genuine. There will be a ten kid discount. All after #9 will be free until you reach #16. Sorry, he said we cannot allow more than 15 from any one family.

Isinthegame,
Just your asking about ravioli would disqualify you for the southern showcases.

bbscout, You may get applications by calling BR-549 or emailing me and I'll get them to Bubba for you.

Bama,
Bighit is wrong! We ain't got no checks up here in Tennessee. Would you take that ole blue tick hound in trade. Full Cry magazine got ole blue ranked # 2 in the state. American Cooner got him at # 7 but there's a lot of politics with American Cooner. Probably cause we didn't show up at their trial hunt. Them trial hunts don't mean nothin anyway, it's how they do in the swamps that count. I'd put ole blue up against any of 'em! If you ain't got no problem with us setting up a booth and making a little minnow money, I'll bring some more of them sweetgum ball and sell 'em as porkeypine eggs to them fellers from Texas.

My youngest boy's been telling me about some new fangled bats made out of metal, reckon they'll be any show up with them out of town people?



itsinthegame
posted January 02, 2002 01:22 PM

Bama,
How about a compromise.
We'll bring our own ravioli, and when we get there - we'll stuff 'em with some of them pinto beans. Sounds like good eatin to me.

P.S. That soggy corn cob thing aint gonna happen though.




posted January 02, 2002 01:57 PM

Fungo my Buddy,
We might work up a trade on ole Blue, but we'll need to field test him first. We don't need another slop dawg around here, but if he'z rated that high by Full Cry he might be worth somethin'. Is he rated by Bugle Buyou or Hootin' Holler?

I've heard bout them metal bats. I don't thank they'll ever catch on though.

Might want to bring a few Hedge Apples with ya to the booth. With a little red paint you can paint seems on them and sell to the yanks as some of them yeller softballs.

itsinthegame,
It will be okay to bring some that ravioli stuff as long as you don't try an make others eat it. And I don't know about wastin' good beans on that stuff.

And, we would never soak any corncobs at our events cause they's lethal weapons when throwed properly. I still remember when Billy Bob hit Bobby Joe with one in the head. Ain't been right sense. Billy Bob was one of those 100 mile and hour throwers. We only supply lightly moistened ones sprayed in pure spring water (gotta good spring close to the still).. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody sold the idear to one of those big companies up nawth.

Anyways, if ya desides to come let me nowe soon. I'm sure these quality events will fill up fastern a scaulded dawg.

See ya,
Bubba

Sure hope theys no age limit. My boy is still in hi schuul, but some folks sayn he's a bit old. Turned 22 last week.

And the beans better be the pinto style, none of them northern beans. Can't believe there be no collard greens listed. Or at least fried green tomatoes.

As for ole blue, he wouldn't be the same hound that got my poor duchees in the family way would he? I saw an old hound when i wuz rocking on my porch swing and lo and behold I got a litter comming any day. Not that i care, ceptun i could get some good money beins he's rated and all that.

As for them there metal bats, thems just a novelty.




posted January 02, 2002 09:01 PM

..reading along there until I came to the beans, cornbread, and sweet tea....and I could almost taste that tea...... and then after the corn cob session a few days ago, they had to reveal that they actually have a moistened version.....

What will they think of next?
DO NOT LET BEENTHEREIL FIND OUT ABOUT THIS SHOCASE!
I would hate to see that report.




posted January 03, 2002 01:38 PM

Thanks for the grate response to our 1st ever showcasin' events. Already got started on the 2012 Bubba's Best Bashers List due to some early $$ (and a few brown jugs).. I'm findin' that makin' money is eazier than I ever dreamed 'cauz there folks everwhar wantin' to showcase "Little Billy Bob".. 2002 looks to be a promisin' year at Buzzard's Roost thanks to all you kind suc... errrahhh.. I mean folks.

AParent, Send the boy on..long as hez past the 6th grade..don't want any special ed folks cauzin' its hard to get them any attention except 'round Nocksville and them giez said thaiz 'bout out of tuitors to take test and do them reports.

Pinto beans only out our showcasez..nuthin' but the best..never could choke down them nawthern beans anyhow...collerds will probably be out of season in most places we gonna showcase, but we'll try to get the green 'maders on the menu..I'll have to check with my money guy and see if we can absorb the addition expenses (green 'maders and also the extra corn cobbs [hey this feller ain't one brick shy of a load when it comez to making a $$ 'causen I can figur those hidden expensez - I know what them green maders will do to the fellas])

As for Ole Blue and all the soon to come baby Blues..You'll never get ole' Fungo to fess up to it..If he did he'd want some sort of stud fee, soze if I'z you I'd keep it on the hush-hush fer now, but I'd let everbody know they had a daddy that wuz "listed" .. that'z sure to help sell them..Earlier I'd never have suspected one of my good buddy Fungo's dawgs duin' setch but after I read one of them other forum posts I heard someone sayin' he wuz spendin' time whar the "dear" play..some of that kinda stuff is bound to wash off on a fellers dawg, I guess.

HiwasseeVol,
As I sayed before we ain't takin' no food stamps..leave it up to a Nockvillian to try and bend the rulez.

"Mr." Grand Pooh-Bah,
I still ain't seen the check yet. I thawt you said it would come about the same time as my welfar check did. It'z probly lost in the mail. Sense all this Amthrax scare the mail seems to be messed up round Lickskillit. I'm sure it'll get here sooner' or later..if it wasn't the Amthrax itta'd be another UFO sitin' on the mountain..them folks at the Lickskillit post office are alwaze holdin' up my check in thar mail. I still ain't figured out why that Amthrax train is such a bother to them post office folks.

Fungo,
Preciate the link to that history and health class spot on this here intranet. I knowed you'd have us covered thar..them yanks need some edjucatin' when it comes to outhouse ediket.

Glove Man,
Had a coach wunce who we nicknamed "Corn Cobb" fer just that reason. I know all ye have herd about that guy names Ty Cobb, well we had our on Cobb - Corn Cobb. Accordin' to him he'z just as good as that other Cobb too. I hurd him say once that one cobbs as good as anothern'.

bighit15,
Fungo, you might need to go an see "bighit" 'cause I'm still not sure he'z got the full pixture here. You NEVER take the cobb to the shed till all the kernals are ett' or else its too slick to be of any use. Might even throw it in the yard fer awhile and let the chickins' and critters ett on it awhile before its ready for the shed. I thunk everbody knowed that.

Well gotta go see if tharz any more money in the mailbox. Keep it comin' dum....errrrahh.. I meanz buddies. We here in the Bubba Baseball Bashers Bonanza LLC 'preciate all that $$ cumin in to suplyment our guvernment cheks.

That looks like Jolly Roger's house settin on two big ole canoes. Where you gonna put that thing, on the Black Warrior? Looks like a cross between a catamaran and a runabout. Whada you call that thing? A catabout?

Bubba,
Heres a suggestion:
Slap a picture of a goomba with a mustache and a chefs hat on the side of that floatin thing - name it Bubba's Italian Grotto - and you are off to the races pal.
You wont have to worry about hosting showcases. Youll be rich - quick.
A floatin Italian restaurant - Im lovin it.

Speelin' and pronounctication correshion for you.

It's "eyetalian"! Do you have any good recipes for that there lasagner made with ramps or chitlins?

Ahhhhhh .... nothing like cooking up a batch of fresh ramps to make you forget that the dog had an accident on the living room carpet the night before!

If you do not know what ramp is please leave this thread immediately. Thank You.

Bob,
Maybe "Bubba" will have a event at Cosby. Can you imagine Ramps and Pinto beans? Kinda makes your eyes water. Bubba won't take my food stamps, I'm thinking about trading my "Gold Bond" or "Green" stamps. The only other thing I have of value is my coal mine script. How about a invited "Orange" walkon?

For the ones that don't know about ramps, click Cosby Ramp Festival

HSBBWEB,
I know chitlins - and I can throw them bad boys into the "lasagner" for you, but them ramps Ive never heard of before.

On the other hand - if them ramps are good enough to make me forget about the dog stuff, Ill throw them into the "lasagner" and woof them down too.

Bubba,
I�ve been doing some ciphering. You are going to have an impact all over the south. With that many rich Yankees com�in into Bama and Misssippi everyone can make some money. Send �em a map with the rout drawed out and then call your sheriff friends so they can be wait�in. I can see new fire trucks all over the south. Don�t forget the money to be made at the boiled peanut and fireworks stands. My cousins� been real busy makin� up more of them Elvis drivers licenses. He wanted to make them Elvis plates but they said they were behind and he had to stick with the regular ones.

Tell yer buddies to slow down on the rebel flags. They ain�t sellin real good any more. I guess everybodys got one. We gotta be careful, them Yankees are purty sharp. The last one that came thru here went back and started makin plastic out houses and renting them out for weekend ball games. I ain�t lying! Must not have many trees up there.

I think you might have over extended youself in one area. You advertizd that you was gonna sign some baseballs. We might have to git one of them Yankees down here a little early to help us with that one. I went to Mr. Gilmore�s house, (his grandaddy used to collect baseballs) and bought six of his best baseball. Fella by the name of Babe Ruth done signed all of �em, so I painted over his name. They look kinda old so you might not want to sign those, just use them for practice.

I can see that statue now. Colonel Bubba wearing your bombers hat and settin on a horse right in the middle of court square. I can tell my grand kids I knew ya!!!
