    Very interesting to see pix of the old ballparks. I especially like the Big A, with the scoreboard out in left field. Also the pic of Jack Murphy Stadium, which I visited several times while growing up in San Diego county. Big fan of Nate Colbert, the first big star of the Padres. Sad to learn of the passing of Lil’ Albie Pearson, whom I saw at an Angel old timer’s game back in the 80’s.

    • @sportsmemories481
      @sportsmemories481  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Brooks was the best. I sat with him at an autograph session and across from us was Kevi. Seitzer. Seitzer watched how Robinson interacted with the fans, and he asked Brooks how are you so nice to each and every fan. He said well Kevin this might be the only time they meet me and I want them to see the best of me. That sums up Brooks, he was the best always.

    9:08. Don Denkinger will always be remembered for blowing the call in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series, when he called the Royals Jorge Orta safe when he was really out at first. Kansas City would go on to win Game 7, and win the 1985 World Series.

    • @sportsmemories481
      @sportsmemories481  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately you are correct. However he was a really good ump. Kind of like Buckner. He let that ball go through his legs and that is what he is remembered for rather than his 2715 hits. The glaring lights of the World Series

      Agreed. The greed to go to cable only and streaming services and to abandon over the air broadcasts has been a huge mistake. They have eliminated millions of people that could watch and fall in love with the game. Out of sight leads to out of mind. And do not forget the high cost of tickets, parking, and concessions. They have eliminated about 1/3 of the population.
