King of useless information
Kaufy, a coupel more:
1- Tony Carfagno's favorite place after a rain storm- Lake Left-Field
2- The Mexican Sleeping Pads, (the 300 cardboard boxes in the dugouts). complete with Mexican toilets and drug paraphenalia.
3- Flood #1 that took out the whole fence and made Lake Wierman
4- Flood #2 that took out most of the fence and a couple of the big Beech trees, causing many people to become Lumberjacks for the day.
5- "Dead Tree Falling", that monster that plummeted on the 1st base side and then Kory Shank running up the side of the tree like Cheetah to cut limbs off.
6- The "crooked" foul poles that caused some umpires to say "Foul Ball, the ball hit the foul side of the pole"- true story
7- The deep beautiful left side of the IF that made the '6' hole look like it was 50 feet wide.
8- The famous Wierman portable outhouse that Big Ernie was locked in and then busted out of like Kool-Aid. (Sorry E, that was funny)
9- The Wierman Nightclub and Bar (lower and upper deck) that could accomodate over 500 people on a nightly basis. (Substance abuse of choice, just pick your section and visit, almost like a buffet, lol)
10- And I have to give props to Jake Corp and his teams as they somehow turned the Upper parking lot into horse shoe pits and Washers games that honestly would last into Saturday morning. Jake, you remember ... or do you?
11- A couple for the old timers, Popeye Smull letting loose his pit bull that could climb the old back-stop and just sit up there. Then the same dog would jump down and run into the weeds beyond right field and drag out a dead skunk he just slaughtered. All happened on one night.
12- A young Clarke Farrell running up the old caved in left-Field fence and robbing somebody of a home run and then realizing he caught his arm on one of the jaggedy fence pieces and ripping his arm apart. But still managed to throw a missile to third base.
13- The famous TNT Sports Club Anthem by AC/DC that blared on the old Jenson Tri-Axial speakers before every game while M80's exploded into the night signifying that TNT was about to take the field. My hearing is still only half of what it should be,
14- And the all time classic, right in the middle of the Women's All-Star game, an unknown man with a bag on his head, streaked naked across the field.
No disrespect to the new field, but that old field was the field and dreams ... and some of the craziest times I have ever seen. I could go on for 2 days. - Steve
