awkward....
hokey smokes, is that al trautwig? had a gf from upstate, from a serious longtime yankees fan family, and she and her doctor brother always referred to him as 'earwig.' sitting in the stadium one day, behind home plate and that annoying net, this mostly quiet girl excitedly says aloud to me (everyone?) 'look! there's earwig!' he and his family were sitting aboot 15 feet away. mebbe five feet and 90'ish pounds, i said to her 'ur lucky that im here today,' cuz al and his wife(?) whipped around to see who said that.
wiki says his name is alan, and not allan as the pic caption. whatever, they're still the ny nets in my book.
also interesting in this photo - almost all appear to be wearing 'die marke mit den 3 streifen.'
my adidas! sumone should make a song aboot that....
when i got my first pair (laces untied, but never completely removed -that's just silly), and i first heard the song, i remember thinking ol dj run and darryl dmc nailed it, cuz it was a real 'thing' where i lived. pimpin'!
