Go around the corner to Billy’s. You can still get to the bar most days. Agree about Stan’s.
My Dad always loved a pitcher’s game. I don’t know which he was more excited about – that game or the birth of his first grandchild the same night, October 8, 1956. Can you believe it’s been almost fifty years?
I hope we playing on October 8th at the Stadium. It would be an incredible ceremony if it works out right.
Fun game tonight so far.

Screw the Yankees. A pox on all of their houses when they leave Yankee Stadium.
For a sport that claims to be driven by tradition and claims to have been “tainted” by steroids and the like, the very notion of the demolition of such history so Steinbrenner can get fatter pockets is so shameful as to defy description, just as it was with the Tigers and the White Sox. I hope the Red Sox stay in Fenway forever. I hope the Cubs stay in Wrigley forever. At least they have some sense of tradition.
The day the old ballparks go away is the day I stop watching forever.
A breakable record but the Yanks-Redsox game tonight just broke the Major league record for the longest 9 inning game. This is on the heals of a 4 hours plus game at 1pm. It will hopefully be a long time before the combined times of this day-night double header is exceeded.

And a great game it was. No pox on the Yanks last night.
I was going to say something about how pro sports have nothing to do with the fans that watch it, but you said it better than I would have.
As for me, I’ll stick with the Isotopes. Nothing beats the minor leagues for cheap fun.
1954, of course. That’s the year I was born. 
But you’re talking about baseball. So I’d say 1955, then. 
I hear that when yer ooooolllllllllddd, you start thinking that stuff that happened a long time ago seems much more recent. 
I think What Exit? and Elvis covered this one: bigger seats for bigger Americans.
