i remember so many fights in the stands.one guy was wearing a giants hat and by the 3rd quarter he was on the ground in a fight with his young son watching dear old dad get his arse kicked.ill bet that was the last game they ever went to together.in the old days you never wore a giants hat at foxboro.

Those narrow aluminum bench seats were absolutely brutal.

The old stadium is now a parking lot for state of the art Gillette Stadium.

My freshmen year I missed an extra point - short! That was the end of my kicking career.

Ya know when the players come streaming on the field?

I hung my toe cleat in the grass, went down, 2 guys behind me piled up on my carcass.

Tough to get a date for a while.

boys true story the year was 1973 give or take a couple of years.it was about 45 minutes before a red sox game in the old days the ball players would play catch right in front of the red sox dugout.i was standing in the first row trying to get a ball imagine me beantownjim a young kid 13 years old.

Ah, yes. The Great Flush. As the 1971 season approached,


WILHEIM I WAS AT THAT GAME ALSO I HAVE BEEN TO 2 GAMES IN MY LIFE AND FUNNY THAT GIANTS GAME WAS ONE OF THEM.I REMEMBER GUYS WAITING IN LINE TO USE THE SINK.I PISSED IN THE SINK IN FRONT OF ABOUT 20 GUYS IT WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT IN MY LIFE BUT I WAS YOUNG AND DRUNK SO I DID IT.

Drunk at a game at age 11???

One time in little league i was doing pratice swings and i knocked a kid right in the head. He began to cry and then of course i struck out.

I did the same thing in T-Ball when I was a kid. I was taking my practice cuts before going to crush the ball and hit a kid in the back of the head. I didn't strike out though.

If you're reading this, sorry Kevin.

While on 1st base, I tagged up on a pop up to 2nd base. I severely over estimated 2 things....1) my speed and 2) the element of surprise

Though in the same game, I scored from 1st on a single past the shortstop. Oddly enough no one seems to remember that.

Years ago when the L.A. Rams were playing the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. I decided on a whim to go to the game on my way home from work. I got to Anaheim stadium about an hour and a half early and the game was sold out. I bought a ticket from a scalper at a reasonable price and went inside.

My seat was on the other side of the stadium so I bought a Monster Beer and started walking. This was when Monster beers were Monster beers, about 80 oz in a cup that looked like what a large popcorn at the movies comes in. Being young, I polished that puppy off halfway to my seat and got another. Feeling good I decide to go in a tunnel and take a look at the field. Standing there at field level, I noticed that there was an open little gate that led on to the field. There were not that many people in the stadium and thus a full complement of security had not arrived. I looked around and walked on to the field and quietly sat on the Ram bench with my Monster beer.

The players soon started coming out for warm ups and looked at me sitting on the bench, I sheepishly got up and walked away from the bench area and over to where the photographers were kneeling. The game started and on about the game's 3rd play Tony Dorsett ran a toss play out of bounds, right at me, I stepped aside, (without spilling my beer) and on his way back on to the field, I tapped his helmet and told him, "Nice run." At the same time I drunkenly realized that at that exact moment I was on national TV and started to wave and say, "Hi mom." Security was on me in a flash. I told them I was a photographer. The security guy was cool and said "Monster Beer huh." I didn't give then attitude and they escorted me off the sideline back to the stands to the cheers of the crowd.

Security told me to go back to my seat and let me go. I was buzzed drunken with fame, (I had just been on national TV) I walked all the way to the other side of the stadium and tried to get back on to the field. As I was eyeing the perimeter trying to find a spot to jump in, security walked up to me and said," Don't be stupid, we followed with binoculars from above. Go to your seat or jail, your choice." I went to my scalped seat and no lie it was on the fifty yard line! well actually at the 45 but close enough and a great seat.

When I retire, on my to do list, I'm going to contact NFL films and get that Monday night game film and blow up the frame of Dorsett coming at me and me sidestepping him without spilling a drop.

Little league championship game. I think were down 8-7 and my team, the Blue Jays, are up to bat. We have a runner on 2nd and 2 outs. One of are worst hitters on the team is up to bat. The kid that wears glasses and you put in right field. Swing & miss, Swing & miss, Swing & miss. I'll never forget as I was ultra competitive then and was pissed afterwards.

Urinated in the stands. At the time, seemed reasonable.

Won't name the stadium. But I was in the upper-deck, and all the bathrooms were on the lower concourse.

Terrible design. Not a single bathroom in the upper-deck.

Didn't want to waste 10 minutes walking back & forth, so there you go.

FYI, it was an away game. Never would have done that in my team's stadium. That would be disrespectful!

Of course, my team's stadium actually has convenient bathrooms. So it isn't an issue.

Little League Semi-championship we went into extra innings I was out in left field a line drive was hit to me and I caught it and instead of throwing it in I ran it in and ended up getting the last out tagging an over excited kid on his was home.
My dad was the couch and I got my ass scolded in front of everyone and beat later at home =0)

pays to be a team player, there are some great stories in here.
I went on on the court at halftime once at a Globetrotters game in Rockford with another kid and we were trying to steal the ball from Curly Bo Johnson.. not sure if he let us steal it but everytime we did he'd have us give the ball back turn around and bounce the balls off us... great experience =0)

That would be 6 months in jail with the nazis they got in Anaheim now.

I nearly charged the mound when I was like 12.

I was pitching and had a no hitter going in the last inning and when I was up to hit the pitch was behind by head.

I led off the inning, and after I walked the pitcher proved to have no ability to throw the ball near the plate.

was playing in a practice round for an AJGA event when i was 14 or so. me and my best friend were playing the other 2 guys in our group for about 10 bucks a hole.(big money back then, especially when your 14 and have no job) we were out of state with our parents and they had no idea we were gambling. nor did the other kids parents. i hit it in a divot on a hole and skulled it out. was so pissed, i hurled my 7 iron out into the middle of nowhere, except nowhere was over the heads of our parents and a handful of other people who were watching (my buddy was the best player in TN for many years as a kid and always attracted a crowd. he ended up playing on the same ga.tech team with duval and cink.) my parents were not fucking happy at all. throwing clubs was also a no-no to the AJGA people:nono5: and i had to sit out the next event.

21st Birthday.

Went to an Akron Aeros game, was hammered out of my mind, and in the 7th inning I heard over the PA....

The participants in tonight dizzy bat race are.... cut-paste-hero (not really they said my name) and some other guy....

Well, I have seen the dizzy bat race. 2 guys spin like crazy, the mascot doesn't and after you are nice and dizzy you run down the 3rd baseline. I have noticed that the mascot doesn't spin, so I made a sweet $5 bet with my buddies. I was going to tackle the mascot...

I told the other guy, he was going to win this race, because I was going to tackle 'orbit'.. So the race began, we were spinning like crazy and I was feeling great, they were yelling 'faster' and we spun faster. Then it happened, they told us to drop the bats and go...

All I could see was the red mascot so I grabbed it, picked it up over my shoulder and dumped it, almost right on home plate. I looked up in time to see the other guy flying into the dugout.

So the race was mine to win, I saw the finish line jumped up off orbit and sprinted down the line to win. Very crazy at the time, kinda dumb now, but I get a good laugh when I see those guys that were with me at the game.

I went back to my seat with my winning t-shirt, and collected my $5, I noticed one of my buddies was collecting $$ from nearly everyone in our section, he bet all of them I was going to tackle the damn thing and he made a fortune.

Thats all I got
