I once got a free ticket to a first row 50-yard-line seat to an Oakland Raider game in the Coliseum. It was a prize awarded to my pal’s mom, a teacher in the Oakland schools. When we got there, we found out why they were free. We couldn’t see anything. The first row was literally at ground level and all the players and coaches and staff stood directly in front of us, nearly all six-footers in cleats. Once in a while on a pass or punt we’d see a ball sail up over the line of bodies, but that’s it.

At some of the old stadiums seats would be behind steel beams holding up roof.

At least Eno and Fang have a beer after the eighth inning.

Once, at a AAA game, we sat behind home plate, in front of the guy with the radar gun.

I have often found that my opportunity for greatness usually comes when it’s way to late to do more than watch the crash.

They just need to be very alert for foul balls.

I thought they were those fancy full recliners at the Regal theatre.

I was thinking they were able to get the seats because the team was on the road.

Dad always gravitated to the row 6-12 feet above the field, right along the line from 1st to 2nd.
