Pitch y Catchee 2021... 05*

 

... Jose Abreu...

We circled the Gum Factory a time or two weighing whom to approach to let us in. No money, we’d just ask – you would be surprised how often that would work. Usually the guy you’d know that dated your cousin and was Betsy Marie’s uncle best friends with your brother… but that was Comiskey. We were shut out and had to buy a ticket. We tried the Bleacher window where the cool kids, later the Lee Elia Fan Club, but shut down. Grandstand $3.50 USD.  We didn’t have much more than that to get home.

The ticket gave us a wide variety of seats. You could sit anywhere except it was always higher and farther away from the shithouse. Remember that commercial with Bob Uecker sitting in top row top seat? We started down the first base line upper deck. We got itchy. Our goal was to sneak into seats behind home plate or closer, so we went downstairs. We got a batter or two before the seat holder and usher chased us away and we’d move around the third base side. We weren’t getting any luck.  Nobody was leaving their seats.

Part 6... soon
