Tuesdays at Howard Park have been special for the Cougars over the last 14 years.
Tuesdays were also special for me as a kid because, like the Cougars, Tuesday nights had the best lineup.
Here’s the 1978-1979 Tuesday Night All-Star Team:
Chachi - CF. Chachi leading off because he had wheels and was a Battle of the Network Stars champ.
Fonzie - SS. The coolest!
If he can jump a shark with a leather jacket, he can play shortstop.
Jonathan Hart - 1B. Mr. H. A self-made millionaire and quite a guy.
Richie - 3B. No way we would let him shoot the game winning free
throw but would have him at the hot corner.
Potsie - LF. He can play as long as he doesn't invite Ralph Malph.
Lenny - RF. He drives a beer truck - how can you go wrong?
Sqiggy - 2B. Very annoying teammate but also works on the
beer truck.
Carmine - P. A dancer and fancy footwork on the mound.
Jack Tripper - EH. Those klutzy moves were not fake so no
fielding for him.
Monroe - C. It would be Too Close for Comfort for him to play anywhere else.
Mork - SC. Orkans age backwards and we need more youth.
Mr. Furley - Manager. Always making faces at the umps.
Mr. and Mrs. Roper - Fans. When not yelling at Stanley Mrs. Roper would
be our loudest fan.
Pinky and Leather Tuscadero - Fans (Cougars need Cougars)
Tuesday has always been a night for the stars at hallowed Howard Park. Let’s recap the last two weeks.
