      I was talking to a Pissburg fan last week, and he pretty much said the same thing about Three Rivers.

        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.

        Never forget it.

            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.

              Perhaps Not...

              ...but my first memory of The Vet was NOTHING like my first memory of Connie Mack. I had seen in on TV but nothing could compare to actually being there and seeing that sight for myself.

                Yeah ... yeah ... the greenest grass you ever saw and the players looked like a Norman Rockwell painting.

                  I agree, if by "Connie Mack" you mean "vagina."

                      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!

                      (dang, we'll have to do this again some time -- that was fun)

                        500 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.

                          John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

                            No reason to bring that up.

                            Obviously, EVERY thread is about Scoopie; at least in his mind.
