"It's a nice day, lets play two"
Another one of my boyhood sports idols passes, RIP "Mr Cub", Ernie Banks dead at the age of 83. A true Class Act if there ever was one.

I remember going down to Connie Mack Stadium and watching him play. There was something magical about that place when you walked around this old brick building and then you went inside and there was a baseball field. Those were the days when Musial or Mays were in town and you were really too young to realize that you were seeing some of the greats. To me it was just baseball, and that was good enough for me.

I thought back in those days the late 50's and 60's it was Ballentine. I'm pretty sure that they called the scoreboard out in right field the "Ballentine Scoreboard" .

Maybe a new Z06 will help your memory? Well it can't hurt.

Hey Dave, while I have your ear. I'm trying to remember the name of a tavern in Marshallton that we used to go to back in the 90's. I don't think it's there anymore or it might have changed names. They had good food and we would pass the Marshallton Inn on the way to it. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jack
