John VMore Pirate games...
I attended the first night game in World Series history at Three rivers in 1971, which was pretty cool.
But my favorite games were any at Forbes Field. We would take 2 street-cars to get there. You would have to understand the sights, sounds and soot of Pittsburgh to get the picture. Upon arrival, you would go through the turnstiles that had at least 75 coats of paint on them and work your way through that semi-dilapidated, great, old structure toward your seat. That sight of the green field that emerged before you can never be forgotten. How I wish it was still there!

We used to wait for Clemente after the games and walk with him to his car. At that time it was a 63 or 64 Caddy - light green.
Sorry for getting carried away, reminiscing.
