Miss State Baseball Legends still "keeping their distance"

[wrapit]

Check out this photo from the Texas Rangers last game at Globe Life Park .... Will and Raffy at opposite ends of photo. Still avoiding each other.
I thought they would fix this by now. They had a good chance at Miss State when they honored the 1985 team at the football game.

They had a good chance at Miss State when they honored the 1985 team at the football game.

In 2014? They were around each other the entire opening weekend of baseball season at The New Dude, when they were inducted into the Ron Polk Ring of Honor.

Some people just don’t get along.

I’ve always heard they weren’t close when they played together.

I don't think you can reliably conclude that they are avoiding each other based on where they stand in a group photo. Even if they are so what. They aren't obligated to be best buds just because they played college baseball together for 3 years.

 

[HumpDawgy]

Man.......Napoli and Blalock must really hate each other!!!

 

[She Mate Me]

I don't think this photo means anything in terms of how they get along these days.

I will say though, having spent some time around them both, they're very different personalities.

 

[The Peeper]

Taken this year, conclusion?

What conclusions then do you draw from these taken in February of this year? It's true, they aren't best buds by I don't think there's bad blood either.

You must be the short person in every group photo you've ever taken. You stand front & center while every one else is shuffled around.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

Am I missing something here? You're saying they don't get along simply because they happened to be on opposite sides of some random photo?

I just remember watching the series "Thunder & Lightning" where I was first exposed of their post-MSU relationship which seemed rather harsh and distant.
Obviously I don't see all the good photos of them together recently at State, thanks for sharing.

I've heard that the cast of Andy Griffith absolutely despised one another. Elizabeth Bavier and Andy Griffith in particular couldn't stand to be around each other off stage.

I believe her name was Francis Bauvier.

I believe her name was Francis Bauvier.

I must be thinking of her sister...

 

[She Mate Me]

I believe her name was Francis Bauvier.

It was actually Frances Elizabeth Bavier. Google's cool.

 

[tatedog]

Thanks I was just going off of my failing memory.

 

[She Mate Me]

Thanks I was just going off of my failing memory.

Pretty impressive that you got her middle and last name right. I had to look it up.

I've read the same thing about their relationship. She was apparently prim and proper and Andy was the opposite. Good actress though.

 

[HotMop]

How long did that linger?

 

[bulldogcountry1]

I hated everyone on the east side of the stadium at the UK game.

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Man.......Napoli and Blalock must really hate each other!!!

Them SOBs wouldn’t pee on each others children if said children were in fact on fire!

No way Aunt B didn’t get along with Andy off stage.
Impossible.

 

[CLANGA]

No way Aunt B didn’t get along with Andy off stage.
Impossible.

Hardly anyone got along with aunt b. Her and Howard Morris(Ernest T Bass) really didn’t get along. Andy and Ron Howard tried to visit her later in life and she wouldn’t open the door because they didn’t tell her they were coming first.

Or be best friends with each other just because they are connected together in MSU baseball lore.

Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig didn't always get along either.

I'm sure Andy got along fine with Aunt Bea. Frances Bavier not so much according to ol ange himself.

Did you ever notice in the scenes where Aunt Bea was angry with Andy how much she really seemed to get into those performances?

From what I gather they get along better now than they ever have, but if you expect people that have had issues with each other through the years to all of a sudden become best buds, well that's just not reality. I did think they both were very classy and respectful to each other at the statue dedication in front of the new Dude.
