It seems almost cosmically cruel that a building as awful as the Big O can contain so many of our cherished memories.
More than any single event over the last 8 years, The Kid’s passing has stirred those old feelings and made me spend a little too much time seeking out articles such as this. Thanks for the post. And the memories, however bittersweet.

This piece brings back incredible memories. I went to a lot games (skipped a lot of Yeshiva in the process) but somehow always missed the big ones in person.

The 22 inning game against the Dodgers was on tv and my parents let my older brothers and I stay up to watch it. I fell asleep before Youppi but my brothers stayed up for the whole thing.

You are making me cry. My insane longing for the Expos has come back to the surface.

Thank you, I can’t wait for the book.

I’m reminded of what I felt when my boyhood idol, Kirby Puckett passed away. It’s strange, the connections we can feel with people we don’t actually know.

Great picture, by the way.

You’re making me cry, man… Great stuff. Just know that we all feel as foolish as you do, but we can’t help it.
