Ahh ...good ol October, Baseball playoffs.....memories for a lifetime....sadly in this day and age the only time we get to see a playoff game in the brilliant October sunshine is in the first round, everything else is sold to the West Coast in "THEIR" prime time....but what the hell , we'll take what we can get, maybe the first playoff game in the New Twinkie tadium, with the seventh inning shadows and a tight ballgame against the Yanks....yep kids in the Twin Cities would skip school and bask in the glory of the postseason, or maybe a 1:00 tee time from the bandbox in Phila, the Reds n Phils crushing dingers into the sun drenched bleachers, that would be swell....Braves - Giants anyone ? Bobby Cox last hurrah, one last trip to the mound in the late afternoon chill, contemplating a pitching change as the home crowd roars, the young rookie Heyward battling the sun in SF Bay to make a game saving catch aginst the wall.......so far soo good............and what does MLB give us ?
Back to Back 1:00 starts from the DOME in Tampa- St Pete......artificial turf, controlled temps, and steam pipes for a roof.
