Phllies alumni pick their favorite foursomes

Some baseball players love to play golf. Others prefer two other outdoor sports: fishing or hunting. Phillies Alumni were asked what teammates they would invite for one or all three sports.

Larry Andersen: "Golf with my teammates? Hmm. David West would be one, Sarge Matthews another, and my broadcast teammate Scott Franzke. Does make a foursome?"

Bob Boone: "For hunting, I would want to invite Von Hayes, a great outdoorsman. I could learn something."

Larry Bowa: "I'd pick Boonie to play golf."

Jeff Brantley: "Scott Rolen, Jeff Shaw, Will Clark and Lenny Harris, even though I know he can't play."

Pat Burrell: "Well, seeing that I don't fish or hunt, and I don't trust Mitch with a gun, I'd prefer golfing. Any of my many teammates would be fine."

Steve Carlton: "My favorite catcher, Tim McCarver, for hunting and golf, as long as he brought the wine."

Larry Christenson: "My foursome in golf would be Lefty, Timmy and Kitty [Jim Kaat] -- great stories and laughter. Fishing: Jim Lonborg, the greatest gentleman, teammate and inspiration early in my career. Fishing and talking with Jim would be a wonderful day. Tug, Von Hayes and I went on a few hunting trips together. Many laughs and chaos! Von and I still hunt, and I think of Tugger every day."

David Doster: "Wouldn't trust too many of my ex-teammates with a gun, and I'm not a big hunter. I would like to go fishing with Rico Brogna and Doug Glanville."

Jim Eisenreich: "I would like to golf with John Kruk and fish and hunt with Mike Williams."

Terry Francona: "Here's my golf foursome: Brad Mills, John Farrell and Chuck Cottier."

Jim Fregosi: "For golf: Lee Elia, Dutch Daulton and Dave Hollins. But in my golf cart, only Lee out of that group!"

Tommy Greene: "I would have a five-some: Darren Daulton, Larry Andersen, John Kruk and Mitch Williams. Talk about having a good time on the golf course! Never a dull or quiet moment."

Kevin Gross: "My golf partners would be Lance Parrish, Bobby Witt, Roger Pavlik and Ron Roenicke."

Von Hayes: "Golfing would be Darren Daulton. I need to win some money back from him. Fishing would be John Kruk. Maybe he can teach me that hillbilly hand fishing I watch on The Discovery Channel. Hunting would be Bob Boone. Anybody named Boone has got to know how to hunt."

Tommy Hutton: "Golf? Keep it in the family, my brother-in-law, Dick Ruthven. We'd have a few stories and a few laughs."

Jim Kaat: "Timmy McCarver, Lefty, Bruce Sutter and Jim Lonborg -- a busload of guys I'd love to have along."

Mike Lieberthal: "I love to play golf. I don't know what I would do without it. As far as a teammate? Kevin Stocker, my old roomie. Hunting? Bob Boone would be my choice and for fishing, John Kruk."

Greg Luzinski: "Gotta pick my friend Bob Boone, and Larry Bowa for entertainment."

Gary Matthews: "A foursome? Gee, I had a lot of teammates. Start with Mike Schmidt, then Garry Maddox and LA (Larry Andersen). Mike and Gary would be the serious golfers while LA and I would have some laughs."

Tim McCarver: "Have been with Lefty on many occasions, both golfing and hunting, and would like to add Dal Maxvill."

Mike Rogodzinski: "Mike Anderson and Craig Robinson to play golf. I'm sure they would be fun to be with. Hunting or fishing, the late "Big Bird" Wayne Twitchell and Ron Stone. When I last saw them, they were looking for Big Foot somewhere in Oregon."

Ryne Sandberg: "Gary Matthews, good for some laughs. Also, Pete Rose, my childhood hero and former teammate."

Curt Schilling: "I'd pick Doug Mirabelli and Gabe Kapler."

Mike Schmidt: "Ed Farmer, an outstanding golfer."

Kevin Stocker: "For golf, my former roommate, Mike Lieberthal. If I were to go fishing, John Kruk."

Ron Stone: "For golf, Mike Schmidt. For fishing or hunting, my two late friends, Wayne Twitchell and Woodie Fryman."

Mitch Williams: "Have to invite Krukker to golf so we could have some laughs."
