Its been a long time since Sid Slid this thread can't go away that easily
I will post some more meaningless Bucs trinkets as this thread is salve to this old Pirate fan's soul.
I just received the 1979 World Series press credentials. It is the first time I saw press credentials as they were originally issued. During that series I was 16 and my best friend was an Oriole fan. I made the mistake of watching the first four games at his house. He really enjoyed rubbing the salt in my wounds. I remember walking the three miles home in the rain after the Bucs dropped game four. I couldn't bear that smug smile and refused a ride in his car . As you know Pops and the Family took care of business and the world was made right.
I grew up to marry my high school girl friend and will be celebrating 24 years of marriage next week. I am now a happy, optimistic, if not mildly dysfunctional middle aged adult. My friend on the other hand developed a coke problem, never married, and is currently unemployed. Both he and John Lowenstien can still kiss my a**.
