Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3820280, member: 5798"] I remember everyone you mentioned except Johnny Logan. Between the ages of 8 and 16 (when I got my first real job in a super market), I lived, ate, and slept baseball. Reading the box scores everyday was a must. You had to buy all of the baseball magazines too. That's where you saw color pictures of the different players, and the stadiums around MLB. Crosley Field, Connie Mack Stadium, Forbes Field, Municipal Stadium, The Polo Grounds, Seals Stadium, Yankee Stadium, Ebbet's Field, Metropolitan Stadium, Sportsmans park, Candlestick Park, Colt's Stadium, Wrigley Field (Los Angeles), Griffith Stadium, and County Stadium, etc, were portrayed and featured in magazines. All of us "old timers" remember these shrines to MLB. Some of us actually saw a game or two in some of them. Most the youngsters today never heard of them. You got stories and features that you'd NEVER get in a newspaper. Coverage of MLB back in the 50's and 60's was nothing like it is today. [/QUOTE]
