Those were the days! Cheap seats, real people players. I just missed the Dodgers in NY, but definitely caught pick up games all summer. Glad the Dodgers won, finally, before they left. RIP Duke...

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Yep I used to listen to the games on radio. The old announcers had a way of making you feel like you could see every play. Used to go to spring training games when some of the old timers still played and sit free in the bleachers. If one hit a ball there the player would come around and sign the ball for you and sit and chat.
Now it is all so commercial and those days are gone. May they rest in peace they gave us something to dream about as kids.

With all due respect to "Duke" Snider, I am moving this thread to the Sports board.
