Message: [QUOTE="alphasigko, post: 3577820, member: 8154"] I grew up 20 blocks north of the original Yankees Stadium in the 50s. Got see them all numerous times: Ford, Yogi, Mick, Kubek, Skowron, Marris and Richardson. Sat behind Marris in the right field bleachers. Saw the '69 Mets many times when a Jr at UConn Also when at UConn went to Fenway to see the Sox vs the A' s (Catfish Hunter pitched and Reggie was in the OF) Lived in Dayton in' 75/'76 and got to see the BIG Red Machine numerous times (Bench, Rose, Griffey, Sr., Gullett) When at ASU in' 77 saw Bob Horner on their Nat'l Championship team. Lived in NYC in the mid-80s and went to 8 opening day Met games, the Playoffs in '86 and the WS Game #2 (Doc Gooden lost that game). Saw Gary Carter hit a G-Slam that season. Also saw Willie as a Met strike out 3 time in one game at the end of his career (so sad}. Lived in Houston and saw JR Richard and Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver and George Foster when the Red's came to play there. Was in Boston on business and saw Pedro Martinez pitch the "Last Game of the Century" there in Sept '99. Was working in Ft Worth in 201 and went to one of the Rangers vs Giants WS games. Worked in Phx in the 00s and saw the BIG Unit, Randy Johnson several times Have lived in Denver since '92, and other than going to the All Star Game here in '98, there is not much to talk about. All of this is very true. I have most of the tickets since the 80s framed behind my bar at home! [/QUOTE]
