First of all, the greatest George Brett quote ever, when he came down with hemorrhoids in the 1980 WS: "My problems are behind me." P.S. The Phils took that WS from the Royals (couldn't resist).

My memories go back to Phils' games in the early 1960's at Connie Mack Stadium (Shibe Park), wondering how a gorgeous green field could exist in the middle of North Philly urban sprawl. Meeting Johnny Callison between games of a DH (not day/night separate admission; not 7-inning games). When I took my youngest son to the first game at Citizens Bank Park, walking in and seeing that green grass (not turf) was exactly the same experience. "Dad, are those tears in your eyes?" "Ah, must be the wind!"
