Happy Birthday Brooks!

You could remember watching Brooks play like I do and feel even older.

Anybody remember Tom Phoebus pitching a no hitter? Can you name the team? I can, as I was there. Here is what I remember from that day in order of what made the biggest impression :

1) Those little crabcakes on saltine crackers were good.

2) Sucks sitting behind one of the pillars supporting the upper deck.

3) Sucks almost as bad that the O’s hired crotchity old assholes as ushers who wouldn’t allow a bunch of 6th graders attending on Safety Patrol Day to move down to better seats later in the game, even though there were hundreds of them empty.

4) Those little crab cakes on saltines were really good.

I didn’t realize it was a no hitter until I got home that evening and heard it on the news.
