When I was like 12 my friend and I went to a game at Shea Stadium and decided to loiter at the players exit for a few hours after the game ended. Missed the last train home and had to panhandle -- as 12 year old suburban kids -- to get money for the subway to get to the Jamaica train station. That was interesting. I remember the first player to come out was Davey Lopes of the Dodgers and HE WAS SMOKING A CIGARETTE!!!! What? What? My 12 year old brain couldn't comprehend it. He was nice to us ("Hey kids, sorry can't stop . . .need to meet someone for dinner . . ." BUT HE WAS SMOKING A BUTT. Never dawned on me that a professional athlete could smoke.
