Be careful what you say, it just might come back to haunt you. Or, as in Randy Wehofer's case, it could turn into a great, and surprising, opportunity.
Last summer, after a meeting with filmmakers looking to write a baseball movie based in Iowa, Wehofer made an off–the–cuff remark as the filmmakers as they were leaving.
"I said, 'Hey, if you need a PA guy or a radio guy for the movie, let me know,'" said Wehofer, the Burlington Bees assistant general manager and radio broadcaster. "It was just something to say. We had already said goodbye three times so I just threw that out there."
Guess who is going to be playing 'Jack Jeffries' in that movie...
Small adjustments lead to results for Dragons' Stubbs
Suddenly, center fielder Drew Stubbs looks like the player the Reds thought they drafted with the eighth pick in the first round last summer.
Even though he continues to strike out too much, Stubbs has begun to hit, raising his batting average from the low .240s two weeks ago to .257 entering Thursday night's game against Cedar Rapids. He hadn't hit a homer in a month before clubbing two this week.
Great. Just what the Dragons need. Another guy who is playing well.

Parrish explains Perez's suspension; Kershaw reacts to trade rumors
A breakdown in communication is to blame for the recent suspension of Great Lakes Loons' infielder Eduardo Perez, Loons' manager Lance Parrish said Thursday.
Perez, who took three days of personal leave last weekend to visit his wife and newborn daughter in Ogden, Utah, was suspended by the Los Angeles Dodgers for seven games earlier this week, beginning with Tuesday's game against Quad Cities.
...
With the Major League Baseball trade deadline fast approaching, the rumor mill has already kicked into full swing. And Loons' ace Clayton Kershaw finds himself right in the middle of it.But, according to the hard-throwing lefty pitcher, he wouldn't be going anywhere if he had any say in it.
In a story reported by the Dallas Morning News recently, the Texas Rangers are interested in dealing slugger Mark Teixeira to the Dodgers for Kershaw and Dodgers' first baseman James Loney.
Wizards pitcher feels fortunate to be playing ball
Brandon Gomes was a member of Tulane’s baseball team at the time Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans.
So the right-handed pitcher has a different perspective on life and the game he loves.
“You really respect any opportunity you get. Especially getting to come play baseball, it’s terrific,” Gomes said Thursday. “You step back and look at the big picture and realize how fortunate you are.”
