In Toledo, Ohio, gym teacher put us on the basketball bleachers in 68 and we watched the games with a stinky black and white tv.
I can recite the entire Tiger's line up except the shortstop. Willy Horton in left, Mickey Stanley in center, Al Kaline in right, Yadda yadda. Who was the shortstop? Northrup was first, McAuliffe was second. Norm Cash was first. Don Wert was in there.
Saw the Tigers play in that ***** ass Detroit stadium in 69. Got to see Lolich pitch.
Also saw in 73(74?) the Met's play St Louis in a double header in St Louis.
Literally saw Bob Gibson hit his last grand slam, saw Lou Brock steal a base and saw Willy Mays play right field in the second game.
It was a good day.
