You just never know who is going to show up at practice.</p>
One day, it might be a former player. Or even a manager. The next day, it could be the likes of a Tonka or Champ, the school's trusty, four-legged mascots.</p>
Or it could be Ron Polk.</p>
Whoa. Wait. What was that, you ask?</p>
Yep. Ron Polk. Live and in person. Cigar and all.</p>
The former baseball skipper made an appearance today while visiting from Birmingham. In case you haven't heard, he's now a volunteer assistant at UAB.</p>
He said all is well in Birmingham, minus UAB's facilities. But more importantly, they let him smoke.</p>
Who knows, maybe Doc Foglesong will make a flyover tomorrow. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Daffodils beware.</span></p>
