how the memory plays trix, and the glory of the internet

fer the longest time i fondly remembered one of my parts in Chicago cub history = I remember that game i the early '80's when frergie jenkins threw his last shutout -v- the cardnials in front of 7,000 of us kids....................................well, it was v cards, it was his last, but there were 37,000 there.............check it out
another great cub memory was the Losos incident -v- SFG's, this time...............gotta be 1980, i'm sure.........
background:
when we were young, we used to show up to Sox and cub games early as hell to shag foul balls down the sideline.....................Comisky was far superior to Wrigley in shagging fouls @ batting practice==Old Comisky had those short walls down the foul lines, whearas Wrigly (i do love the place) has those huge walls far down the line (the best place to catch fouls during BP===think bartman moment) that are impossible to just lean over to collect a ball running down the line
note : i do love Wrigley, but it always obviously took second place to The Baseball Palace of the World for places to enjoy a ballgame...............remember what Harry used to say about taking in a Sox game @ Comisky : "Ah yeh can't beat fun at the old ballpark"
So : -v- the giants, during the game , we were wandering down the 1st base side , and a foul pop went into the stands........................massive scrum, i see 2 little legs sticking out under the pile, and thinks me "shit that poor guy, trammeled to death beneath that pile"................and yes, it turns out not to be a stranger, but rather one of the crew: losos.................
is all
