-> At my first game ever at Arlington, we weren't there five minutes out there
-> in right field, and Canseco had a ball plop out of his glove.  If we had
-> been there when the ball hit him on the head and bounced into the stands --
-> ISTR that had happened just a few nights before -- I'd have been hysterical.

Well, you and I attended two Rangers games at Arlington Stadium in 1993.  I
don't have any memories of the games other than benches, benches, and more
benches.  :)   Don't remember players, although I can look up rosters and see
who was there.   I don't suppose you remember either of the dates we went, do
you Steve?  I mean down to the Month and day?

-> I heard a funny term today:  "A-Wad."  With the big Juwan Howard deal over
-> in the NBA, there's a lot of talk about something being in the water in
-> Texas regarding big salaries. :-)

I heard A-Wad the day after he signed.  Still funny.  The way I look at that is
this.  My personal comprehension of money and my own salary is so microscopic
to what baseball salaries are, it doesn't bother me.  Whehter they make half a
mil, 1 mil, 2 mil, 5 mil, 10 mil, 20 mil, 50 mil, or 100 mil a year - it's all
monopoly money to me.  Sure they're millioniares - duh.  Who doesn't know that?
I care about the game on the field - not the dough they get paid.

Eventually, it'll get to the point where I'll have to stay home to enjoy the
games - when it comes to that point, it'll just be more money in my own pocket.

I love the game - I can seperate the biz vs the game portions of being a fan.
Most people can't.
