Keep it going! Nothing like seeing the Spankys getting crushed. Almost as good as watching Tulsa beat ucf I didn't record that game figuring C was gonna roll them. Pixxed me off that I didn't get to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember flying to Sacramento for a baseball tournament wearing "Tampa Bay Giants" shirts ... whoops. It's time for billionaire owners to start footing the bill for these palatial stadiums that they make a fortune off of. Interestingly enough someone clown tweeted out today that Tampa will break ground on a new retractable roof stadium in 2 years. It's been denied by officials As a Giants fan, I remember this being proposed but can't remember when it happened. Believe it was before our daughter even knew of USF.

But the Giants were the visiting team v the Mets in their first season. Double Header. I was 7. Willie Mays was my idol and we sat in centerfield. Unfortunately center field was 483 I believe so he was still 140 feet for so from us. My dad got sick (thinking NY hot dogs) and we left after the first game. My mom had to drive us home through NY back to NJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That old park saw a lot action over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that the Giants played at Shea Stadium in 75 (I believe that year is right) while Giants Stadium was being built? I had season tickets to the Jets at Shea for four years (High School) while living on Long Island back in the day. The gentleman I sat next gave me a history lesson on NY sports each game. Amazingly I remember almost all that he taught me. Edited October 9, 2020 by NewEnglandBull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
