Saw all the players taking batting practice etc. Out comes Pete Rose and Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Dave Concepcion etc. One woman by herself yells out to Pete Rose " Hey Pete, remember me? I sent you a letter, you never answered"?? He just shook his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many teams in our lifetime like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many teams in our lifetime like that. Indeed. Same with the Oakland A's of the era. 72 Series was a great one. As a Chicago kid I think 71 or 72 was my first ever plane ride. Dad took us to Cinncinati for first Cub/Red Series at Riverfront. What a POS stadium it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
