Of course that's the proximate cause, and one of
the issues I'd considered when buying the thing:
in the car on the way to the park, Swisher and I
discussed the potential problem (what if it had
been a gorgeous woman of my age who noticed), and
neither of us could remember the name of an active
golf pro anywhere.
not paid that much attention to golf either... When my m-i-l was still
alive, and we were visiting her every Saturday, we'd watch the golf on
the TV with her, so at that point I knew a bit more about the players...

It takes extra effort to stock such oddities. A
lot of the stadiums offer beers local to the "home"
teams, but at this place those were the Dodgers and
the White Sox, neither having any stake in Fort
Collins, Colorado.
Ya just never know.... ;)good game. One amusing contretemps was that the announcerYeah... but... they still deserved their last chance.... (G)
announced the end of the game after the top of the 9th, inadvertently trying to deprive the home team of its last
ups. So the field cleared, and it was several minutes before
the players and personnel (umpires!) realized that the game
was in fact not over, so eventually everyone was shooed back on
the field for what turned out to be a last futile half inning.
By the rules and customs, that's true. And 3 runs is
not totally insuperable. The Cubs game referenced in
my post to Ruth had a few fans including us stick
around in the anticipation of a 19-run comeback in
the bottom of the 9th.
Right, that was a place you took Lilli, if I'm remembering the tale correctly... ;)There was plenty of food, and some of my chimi went back forSounds all pretty good.... :)
Carl's lunch (good thing, because our room turned out not to
have a fridge), and half a pound of machaca went back for
a later supper for them.
It was pretty good, and we went back again.

Yeah, Tiger, he's the exception, as more symbol or
personality than golfer. The golfers whose names are
on the tip of my tongue are such as Arnold Palmer,
Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Eddie Arcaro. I.e.,
not of this generation.

The great disappointment was that Maryvale, home of
the Brewers, is now an SAB Miller house and is thus
along with Tempe Diablo at the bottom of the list of
ballparks to revisit.

Well, in that 24-6 debacle, it would have taken
the sudden incapacity of the entire Cubs team to
change the outcome.

Yep. Sometimes I put immediate contemporary
stuff in posts before the more comprehensive
"trip report" comes out, especially as I'm
using the latter as echo filler.
Which on rescanning I read as chicken fillet.
