Rudy's Fun Corner

Rudy's Fun Corner What're doing besides digging my web page?

Oh sure, you thought this was just a one-off sort of joke page making fun of me, didn't you? We sure had a few laughs now, didn't we? In any case, being the resident pitcher emeritus of the River Rat squad, I knew it was time for an update to my little corner of the web-- months ago, of course, but Frenchy never seems to care about the important things... He's always sitting around the dugout trying to put in another chew while over analyzing the lineup. Anyway, it's time for the UPDATED July 2006 version of Rudy's Fun Corner, replete with information about the most important Rat, which is, if I may humbly suggest, me. Feel free to enjoy, and also feel free to admire me as I drive through town in my 2006 Corvette. Ain't no mid-life crisis baby, it's just Rudy!

	Following another hard inning of baseball in Mellen, I decided to have the local press take some photos of me flexing my enormously large pitching arm. Note the definition in the flexor muscles of the forearm, the biceps, and even the definition of my triceps. If you only knew how many strikes that weapon has amassed over the years, you'd be in awe... Al Wurzberger is in the background, barely able to contain his amazement at my incredible physique...
	Ah yes, back in Hayward after the wonderful trip to Mellen for an inning of baseball. Note the clowns in the background, including Frenchy, Schaffer, and Barabe. They apparently thought that my jokes weren't funny that afternoon... The pizza and beer, however, was mighty tasty. Of course I can't remember what everyone was saying, but that's not all that important now anyway. All I know was that the women from the wedding party were digging me and my sleeveless shirt.
	Here's me in action earlier this year in Vegas... I launched a massive shot over the wall in right center to clear the bases... Nothing new, of course. I've been launching shots out of the park since Reagan was in office... In California... As the president of the Screen Actors Guild... But I digress. Note the form and the lip...
	Posing for my 2006 River Rat photo in my old hometown of Spring Valley. Minus the extra 20 pounds and the grey hair, I'd still look as crisp as I did when I was playing there 25 years ago. Then again, I always look crisp. Also, never forget your shades-- I'm still sporting the Miami Vice shades I wore back in 1983... They go with my 2006 Corvette...
	Speaking of old times, I thought it would interesting to put up an old photo from 2002 of myself and Frenchy... I still can't believe I put my tongue either in or near his ear, but after a long night of fun around town, you never know what'll happen! I think both Mr. and the future Mrs. LaBreche got a kick out of it... I know I did...
	No collection of Rudy photos would be complete without this classic... Here I am at Spring Valley around 1977 or so, getting ready for a co-ed game of softball against the local squad from Menomonie... Hard to believe, but I was sporting the guns way back then too-- the pseudo-Montreal Canadians jersey and All-American pants were a special touch, don't you agree? My old teammate from the Hawks is on my right in this photo-- extra points to those of you who know him! I don't think the Spring Valley baseball field has improved much since then, either...

Well, that's about it for new and old photos... I hope to have more put up as the season progresses, but that's up to Frenchy, and you know how quickly he tends to get things done around here. Peace and love to everyone as always, and thanks for checking out my little corner of the World Wide Web. I only hope my business partners can't find this-- they're bound to double over in laughter.

Yours truly,
