I saw my first live game at old Municipal Stadium here in KC (it was Bat day, they actually GAVE everyone a wooden baseball BAT & there were NO deaths from somone getting hit over the head) The guy sitting like 4 seats away, had a POST Right in front of him? I asked my grandpa "Why is that dummy sitting there?" My grandpa just said... "He's just unlucky, I guess, what an idiot?". It was the very early 70's, Before all of this Political Correctness BS - you could call someone a N word or a ***** or a Greaser, etc. & not end up in JAIL before you caught your breath!! Back when people could take being slandered & Not take it personally enough to call a Cop?! I also remember the first game in Royals Stadium, it was SO Hot, that the concession stands were giving out cups of Ice for FREE, cuz they were so afraid people would get Heatstroke & pass out?!
