TurnTwo Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 My 4th grade teacher goes to a Yankees game in the Bronx once a year.In 1998 she saw David Cone pitch a perfect game. Went back one year later in 1999 and saw David Wells throw his. What are the odds?As for me, I saw Tony Clark hit three home runs against the Blue Jays in 2004. In the same game Ruben Sierra hit his 300th career home run on a grand slam.

spyboy1 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I was at the final game in Minnesota North Stars history...strangely, the only North Stars game I ever went to.I was at that game too. I worked with a guy who had never been to a game before, so I figured the next time the Blackhawks came to town we'd go. I turned out to be the last home game of the year, which turned out to be the last game in Minnesota.I made a sign for our long-time radio announcer who was not going to Dallas with the team. It read "Thank you Al Shaver"After we finally scored in the third period, the showed the goal on the video screen along with his radio call of the goal. Since people had just heard his voice in the arena, I went for a lap around the arena walkway inside the seating area holding up my sign. They put a TV camera on me and put me up on the scoreboard. I got a sort of a wave-like sorta standing ovation as I walked around and my picture in the paper the next day. Al's son tracked my down when I was done, asked for the sign and took my number. Al Shaver actually called me at home to thank me, only I wasn't home at the time and he left a message. I was really annoyed that Al didn't get to retire on his own terms and so many people were focused on "Norm Green Sucks!" that Al was getting swept under the rug, so I felt like I wanted to do something to recognize him for his career.

Snazel Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 That Expos photo has a tragic quality to it, the empty seats, a sense of futility and loss. It's really sad what happened to baseball in Montreal. Claude Brochu's book sheds a lot of light on the subject. While the book basically tries to wash Brochu's own hands for the demise of the team, there are elements where he is very honest about how baseball strayed into a dark path in Montreal.In particular, he cites the league's greed at the profit they could make in selling the team, the failure of the Mark Langston trade (which breaks the back of Charles Bronfman), Stade Olympique, and a failure to accomodate the English fans, as factors for the Expos loss.It's a dry book, that does a lot of "self-defense", but here and there you get real nuggets of insight as to how and why the Expos wandered into oblivion.The Expos had Pedro Martinez, Larry Walker, Moises Alou, Cliff Floyd, Marquiss Grissom, John Wetteland, Jeff Fasero and Rondell White, in either their rookie years or in their prime, and had Ugueth Urbina, Vlad Guerrero, Jose Vidro and Orlando Cabrera waiting in the wings.All of it was dismantled and sold off piece by piece. It's too bad, because Montreal had a rich baseball history, Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson have written how much they enjoyed their time playing in Montreal and how great the fans were. Wow, long tangent from me (again). Sorry about that, thanks for letting me vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walk up crowd for that game was incredible.And then MLB flexed their muscles, had Floyd traded away almost instantly and refused to let the team even call up rookies in September.Ah memories...And people wonder why no one showed up. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
