I attended the reunion game over the weekend and here is my experience...
some players in attendence were...Luzinski, Fletcher, Pall, Mcdowell, Karkovice, Thigpen... and some crappy cub players.
Overall most of the late 80's and early 90 players still looked in tremendous shape. It makes you wonder why alot of these players are out of the game. It looked like Fletcher could still go get them (I figure he lost some range) Mcdowell (arm trouble) even Karko looked better now than he did then. He may have been slightly heavier and definatly slowed down.
Pasqua was smoking them during BP. Duiring the autograph session I jokingly asked him, "Dan, when you coming out of retirement? You can still hit. He said, I can't run anymore, not that I ever could." He eventually poked a homerun during the game.
I went up to the bull and and told him I saw his roof shot off of Oil Can Boyd. HE could have cared less. He looked bored and would have rather been somewhere else. "That was a long time ago" he replied.
Karko sported a JIm "the Anvil" Neidhart GO T.
Black Jack was friendly. I told him I've e-mailed him about Wilco a few times. We talked about Wilco for a minute and he was very pleasent.
Overall, it was a fun evening and came home with a Sports Illustrated autographed cover of The Bull and got him and fletch to sign my old Comiskey seat. 6 83 players to date.
anyone else go. I can't believe noone has mentioned it, unless I overlooked it.
