Nats' fan's suggestion to improve attendance: show all Red Sox games on the jumbo tron!
I thought that was a riot.

Go, Nats!

8. Back in the late 60s/early 70s Cleveland had a lot of hair-brained ideas
to increase attendance. The one I remember most was a high-wire tight rope act across cavernous Cleveland Municipal Stadium, after the game. I think it was Karl Wallenda.

First and only time I saw the Clown Prince of Baseball, Max Patkin.

13. Sorry, I'm not the poster f.k.a. Mookie Wilson...
just a different Mets fan.

You're thinking of Captain Hilts...he used to be Mookie Wilson.

20. I still have my official Sox cap I ordered from Manny's Baseball Land...
green under the bill, leather band around the inside.

Yaz was still playing when I ordered it.

17. I've got that poster autographed, actually. I've met Howard a couple of times.
Someone saw me wearing a Nats hat the other day and we stopped and talked. They suggested the Sox games on the jumbotron.

24. Fielded cleanly, Buckner would not have been Mook to the bag. Stanley was at fault. nt
