‘Sell The Team Bob’ Banner Flies Over PNC Park Ahead of Pirates Home Opener

A home opener usually brings excitement, eagerness and enthusiasm to a fanbase returning to the ballpark for the first time since the fall. While that is still the case to some extent in Pittsburgh, there’s no ignoring the frustration fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates are feeling prior to their...

Kind of tough to see guys that I actually saw play looking so old. Granted, I was nine years old when Pudge hit the foul pole. I had to go to bed looong before the great event and had to wait until the 6 o’clock news to see the replay.
Anyways, Yaz and Ed were my favorite players. We see Eddie all the time on NESN so we don’t really noticed how he’s aged. Yaz looks very old and thin. :(

We all get old and it sucks.
Can't believe those teams didn't win a world series. They were great.

I also like Pudge,Dewey, Rooster, Boomer, etc. Yaz and Rice were my favorites quite easily. I think Freddy Lynn would have been in the HOF had he stayed with the Sox. I liked Rico too, but I always thought Hobson was going to be at 3rd for 15 years. I remember when he would stand at the plate and arrange bone chips in his elbow.
I don’t want to get on a rant here, but baseball when I was a kid was awesome. I remember when not every game was on tv38 so I would listen to the great Ken Coleman on the radio. Ken Coleman and Ned Martin were like Bob Wilson and Fred Cusick.

If Jim Rice doesn't break his wrist in 75, or any number of things goes differently in 78, they win one

I remember one year (77?) when the Sox had a home run spree for the entire month of June. They were a powerhouse offensively. They needed more pitching than Tiant and Bill Lee. I thought they had the answer when they got Mike Torres, but he was a flop. I remember a screwball throwing closer (I can’t think of his name) that Don Zimmer used up by the all-star break. Yeah, they should have won one or two between 75 and 80.

Bristol, Ct., my hometown and home of ESPN, got the Red Sox AA affiliate in 1973. I was 20 that summer, worked in a cemetery and got to go to Sox games at night. Rice was 19 and was dominating. The team, however, sucked. Lots of great nights with many cups of Schaefer beer. I think they were 50 cents that season.

Loved to listen to Ned Martin when the team was on the left coast. He knew not many people were listening, so he was a little less discreet with banter.
