Hattiesburg native John Lindsey, fast approaching 35, is playing in the Venezuelan Winter League. He is 2-for-8 with two RBIs in two games for Caracas. Lindsey, who got the long-awaited call to the big leagues with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2010, spent all of the 2011 season at Triple-A Albuquerque, batting .309 with 13 home runs. Lindsey's powers of perseverance are remarkable.
P.S. Joey Gathright, another Hattiesburg native, is a free agent again after spending a brief time with the Boston Red Sox at the tail end of this past season. ... Billy Hamilton, the Taylorsville tornado, stole two bases in his Puerto Rican Winter League debut last week and is 3-for-12 in three games for Ponce.
