Ah, The Concrete Castle
The first game I saw there I thought, "Whoa, about a million times better than Connie Mack Stadium!"
However nothing could compare to my first-ever game at Connie Mack -- dad, mom and I had seats along the left field line because I was a Harry Anderson fan. Walked up that ramp and the first thing we saw was the 447-foot deep pasture that was center field, the Ballantine Scoreboard and the tin wall in right.

Not at all
I p*ssed in one of the ramps and one time I p*ssed behind an open door. Remember when they started putting Porta-Johns on the main concourse? It was great. Hey look, there's a lot of homos out there trying to catch a glimpse of my package, so I don't like that whole communal whizz scene.

Sonny Boy...
...I was watching baseball games long before you were even born.
I saw Richie Ashburn the PLAYER.
I've forgotten more about baseball than you can remember!
So there!

But this thread was about the Vet

Typical KG500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.
