Re: TJ a Sixer
The Timbo who dated a Miss Pennsylvania, or the Timbo who fled the state to avoid Knuckles and Muggsy after a bad Super Bowl wager?

Re: TJ a Sixer
The Timbo who, while a very good intramural player, somehow managed to finaggle his way into a tryout for the Sixers. He got a brand new pair of basketball shoes out of the deal if I recall correctly, which made it a great success.

Re: TJ a Sixer
A guy I played softball with for years tried out with the Phillies. He was our centerfielder. On any ball hit to him, it was typical to hear, "I got it, I got it ... ohhhhhhhhhhhh! <Rhymes with Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt>!
He didn't stick with the Phils either.

Re: TJ a Sixer
I hadn't thought of Timbo for years before this. He certainly was someone who could best be described as a character and whose activities could best be described as antics.

Re: TJ a Sixer
Philly papers confirm that TJ got a partially guaranteed contract, so he'll get at least $100k this season. Also sounds like he may have been guaranteed a spot on Development team for the year.

Good for TJ! That's a whole lot better than a pair of ProKeds.

Re: TJ a Sixer
To all who knew Timbo Patterson, I was told today that he died this past weekend. I knew him pretty well years ago and I knew him to be a good guy. He was a character and he had his issues but he wasn't mean spirited or malicious. He had a great sense of humor. As for basketball, he was a very good shooter as I recall.
God rest his soul.
