Before the game, Pappas was there signing autographs for the kids. We were only a few rows up and, like dorks, we were calling his name asking for his autograph.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This makes you an unofficial geezer--you can remember a time that you could get that close to the field before an actual game. I remember doing the same thing, but it was probably 1973.

No, actually those were our seats. I forget who she got them from, but we had to go. It was April I'm quite sure and very warm. We took the Western bus all the way to Addison... took forever! I know what you're talking about, though. I did that when I was a younger teen. Got there early, got close to the field, and actually got to speak with the players and get autographs.
