Whoa. Isn't Augies, despite is wonderful location on the malecon, not much more than a bunch of old white guys grousing about the fish they didn't
catch, while guzzling happy hour beers??

Wait one second Howard. I resent being called a guzzler! I sip my beer. I can't help it if I sip my beer at an extremely fast pace.

Howard, just tell us............does it involve major league baseball games? This isnt some homer contest plus regular games, is it?
If it doesnt involve bonafide MLB games, then I will quit guessing. I expected this to be REAL baseball trivia.
BTW, once this is over, I will ask my favorite trick trivia question. This will, of course, involve play in MLB.

Once again, I don't mean to leap into Kens question, but it is not a trick question with a genuine answer that you will go, "that makes perfect
sense." Think about it, I didn't b-4 I answered incorrectly.
When are you just going to ask for a hint?

I grew up on the central California coast and was a big Dodgers fan BEFORE they moved to LA. Got up to Frisco a lot to watch the Dodgers play the
Giants. Man o man, that was some rivalry back in the 60's. I was at the game when Juan Marichal hit Johnny Roseboro over the head with his bat. All
hell broke loose. I remember Roseboro walking all the way down the right field line heading to the clubhouse with a towel over his head to stop the
bleeding and 45,000 fans booing him. Could never understand why he was getting booed when he was the one who was attacked. Must have been the
uniform.

I attended the 1959 All Star Game in the Coliseum. It was one of those rare years when they played 2 All Star Games in one year. I believe the other
one was played in Pittsburgh that season. Sat right behind the Chinese Wall in left, where Wally Moon hit all those "Moon Shots".

No tricks, no games, it's a real answer.
When you guess this and bring your trivia question, I will break out my mind teaser question.

For the most home runs, I'd guess Coors Field in Colorado. But I hear that the new Yankee ballpark is a hitter's field like Coors.
BUT...for a few years the Dodgers and that other team played in Dodger Stadium. That's the equivalent of two stadiums. The Dodgers were not much for
power then, and home plate was a little farther back, but that's a lot of games and Mays, Mantle, McCovey, etc came to visit...
The Polo Grounds... had two teams before the 162 game season, and before Ruth and the surge in home runs. No way.
If I don't hear by tomorrow AM I'm gonna google it!

Actually, I am pretty sure I have been to Ebbets Filed when I was around 5 years old. My Grandfather who lived in NY took me there. He is since
passed away and it could have been the Polo Grounds or maybe Yankee Stadium. I will ask my 94-year Mother but I am pretty sure it was Ebbetts.
As far as the name, make me an offer I can't refuse.

Great Ball-Player and .........
TV performer ?
When I first heard about his passing, I said to my wife "What TV programs was he in ?" She didn't know, either.
OH, "Little House on the Prairie" and "Father Murphy".
Now, I KNOW why I didn't KNOW.

Poor Merlin succumbed to one of the nastiest and painful diseases one can imagine. Mesothelioma. It is often considered to be a byproduct of exposure
to asbestos, especially when young. Olsen grew up in No.Utah. wonder if there were mining the stuff up there?

Associations and OTHER stuff
During the time I was Living on the Beach in the '60s, a close friend's Twelve-Year Old sister died from Lung Cancer. She'd lived
her entire Upper Middle-Class life in Inglewood bordering Westchester where the North Runway of LAX is now.
Sometimes, Stuff just happens.

Most home runs-
Coors Field was a good guess because of the altitude.
I am going to take a wild guess: Candlestick Park...wind assisted and Giants had all those heavy hitters; Mays, McCovey, Orlando Cepeda. Of course,
that wind could have worked against them too. I saw many home runs there though.

Well, if this is NOT a trick question involving multiple teams at the same stadium, then I would guess Coors Field before the humidors.

Forget about It
The September 28, 1962 issue of Life Magazine, that is. I talked myself into it.
Along with an August 20, 1965 issue of Time Magazine. The Watts riots.
Passed on the Willie D Sports Illustrated.
Heartbroken, I also passed on the Ferrari 308 Dino I was looking at.
Love that EBay, though.
03-13
STILL Life on EBaby.
There are a number of vendors hawking that particular issue, all in the same general price range.
Get yours now.
