I was a very little kid in 1955, A's vs Indians, Bob Feller pitched,trying a comeback. Minnie Minoso played, recall Jim Hegan as well. Walk up ticket sales on 22nd Ave. green grass,vistors batting practice,white ball,smell of beer,cigars,Dad & Mom &3boys delighted to be there! Apt to see your neighbor in nearby seats..a family place..wonderful memories of that old park. My folks went there to see Blues play when they were first married. George Toma's ground crew kept that field immaculate. GoGo white sox of '59, Kaline,Williams,Mantle,Sievers,Pascual,Berra,so many wonderful players too numerous to mention. Vistor clubhouse seperate from dugout you could see players and talk with them. A's bullpen used to be, before along right field foul line, in center field. cutout in the wall you could see pitchers warming up there. Johnson & Finley horrible owners KC deserved better than they got.Love to write more,space limited thank you for this site..truly enjoy it. How can I write more?
