When I was a youngster, going to Connie Mac seeing the Mets:Phils. One Saturday went to a double header, like they used to schedule them back-to-back, not make up game. Anyway the first game went 18 innings and we still had the second game to play. Can't remember who won, but watching 27 innings of ball in one day really sticks in your mind. Loved that Connie Mac stadium, just had to watch out where you parked or pay some kid to watch your car (if you wanted the antenna and hubcaps still mounted)!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I would have to say that seeing Carl Yastrzemski's last 2 games would be the best for me! The Saturday game was "YAZ DAY" and they were playing the Indians that weekend! My girlfriends Dad was President of Cambridge Savings Bank and he had gotten us 2 front row seats by the visitors on deck circle! It was a great ceremony and as many know, Yaz did his goodbye lap afterwards and being in the front row I took a great photo of Yaz coming down the 3rd baseline towards us high fiving the fans and waving and then I got to give Yaz a high five myself as he went past! Very exciting for me!

His last game I had standing room seats and was all over the park taking pictures that day! Yaz popped up in his last at-bat and I was by the Sox dugout! As he came off the field that day to a standing ovation he handed his game hat to a young boy sitting next to the dugout! (Lucky Kid) I thought that was a nice thing to do!

Sidenote: Went to Cooperstown 5 years later to see Yaz inducted along with Johnny Bench! Great weekend!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I was at that Indy game also, but not in the 7th row 50 yd line great seats JohnR and Clammer were there too in the snow that game, I remember John wearing his Aquaskinz. Great game, I'll never forget it , I watch it sometimes when NFL replays it.
I couldn't have been further from the field, very last row way up behind the lights, atleast it wasn't as cold as it was the week before.

I can remember being at a Bruins game in the 2nd row from the glass and Wayne Cashman wailed the crap out of some guy right in front of me, he was tough.
Been at many Larry Bird games at the old garden standing room tix, bleacher seats at fenway catching a Jim Rice hit ball back freshmen year at Northeastern sept. 1978, that was cool.

The AFC champ game against the Jags in 96 was cold but the crowd was so crazy and loud and they won so I didn't mind the numbness, that was a great game too.

The AFC Championships are up there for what they mean, but to be at the Dolphins/Pats game throwing "snow fireworks" is something I will never forget.

We usually tailgate for the games, but we ended up taking the train up. Had to stop twice for a "plow train" to clear off the tracks. Got there about 20 minutes before kickoff, and pretty much ran to get in on time. Caught the opening kickoff heading up the ramps to our seats.

Another thing I will remember about it is just after Tedy's pick-six, a guy who sits behind us came up the stairs, sat in his seat and said "OK, I made it" and got up to leave. We asked him where he was going and he said "My car is parked on Route 1. Just wanted to be here. Gotta get out there before it gets towed"
