    I'm actually writing this up for a blog post. Buddy will get his own page. Long story real short, while boarding the team bus out in back of Shea after a game he (and all the Mets) came out and were not stopping to give autographs. They had a plane to catch or something. But Bud was prepared. He had a stack of around two dozen postcards (the picture was a drawing of fans with banners at Shea around the border) that he had already autographed. He was handing them out as he walked by. When he got to the bus he still had a bunch left and as he went to hand one to me, he looked at me and asked "If I give the rest of these to you will you keep one and pass the rest around?" I said" Sure Buddy! Gimme those!" He did and I did. I kept two.

    Ha, Victorino looked like he was moving in keystone cops fast motion on that last single. Tigers are trying to get back in it. ROAR!

I was thinking that was Templeton to Russell's right, but now I realize that isn't Russell copping that feel at all, but Ron Cey with his mustache either trimmed or sublimated. But if the Cardinal isn't Templeton, who is it? Andujar? Very hard to tell. That lil slice of face looks like Andujar. More than a lil bit.

    I loved walking around Cooperstown. Lotsa little shops. Doubleday Field is a must see. Nice place to walk even without a destination in mind. I was there last in the early 90's, but I imagine it hasn't changed much.

    This post season pitching overall has been a surprising treat. I'm glad I'm not emotionally invested in these games.

    That one almost snuck outta there for a kaboomer. Both V and Lacky are pitching great.

    I hate to say it cuz I love flashy fielders but I'd take Buddy over Rey any day. And I never thought of Buddy as flashy, but he was as solid as they get at short. At the plate Harrelson carried his weight.

    Wow, I was directly above them. Not sure how close to the foul pole I was but pretty sure I was not on the fair side of it.

    You are correct sir! Sorry, I get a little excited when I see pics from the series that I think I may be in. It's amazin' that at one point in game five I was captured on TV sitting in the corner of the Reds dugout and there is no record of it. There has got to be footage or a pic somewhere.

    That pic of the mezz box section in '73. That's right where I was sitting! If it was early in the game I should be in that photo. I looked and I'm not. Eh, maybe I was a box or two more toward left. Later in the game I was down in field box on the right field side, hoping for a walkoff. Had a great view of Rusty's wallbanging catch and Rose's homer. Damn! If I was ever gonna be caught in a pic from that game it should have been that one. I had mezz box seats right on the rail. Can't recall the exact seat and section.

    Yea. Good baseball. Limited games left. They are making it easy to enjoy em.

    Shut up Cal, he's safe, good call.

    whoa, good call!

    I'm gonna start a new tradition as a followup to the 7th inning stretch. The 8th inning chuckle.

    See, us regular human beings can't even get up after a triple, no less celebrate at the plate on the way and also pulling up at 3rd.

    A stupid way to squelch your own rally.
