[Guest Edgy DC]

My manliness grows just repeating the name "Ted Sizemore" silently in my mind.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm guessing that money's a thing.

'Cause otherwise, how the F does George Foster rate a "VIP" seat while Joe Morgan gets relegated to a card table near the pisseurs?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Because he's annoying.

Some thoughts:
I'd like to meet Ryne Duren and congratulate him on conquering demon drink.
And I'd love to meet two of my all time favorite pitchers- Al Jackson and Bob Gibson. I met Whitey Ford often when I was a teenager - he used to bowl at an alley on Northern Blvd. on Saturday mornings. He bowled right handed, so as not to injure his pitching arm. (IIRC he was a 180+ bowler.)
I'd tell Ron Davis that we'll be rootin' for his kid - Ike.
I wonder if Phil Linz will play the harmonica for the crowd.
