Stars On Ice, Scott Hamilton farewell tour.

Bill Lee 6 years, 11 months ago

A Royals game. The K is a great place to spend a warm evening. Not much fun when it rains, though.

2010 - The Chicago Cubs at St. Louis Cardinals.

Kansas City Athletics, summer of 1956. What a waste of time! Plus my seat was right behind a concrete column lined up perfectly with home plate and first base. And they lost. Hell of a way to introduce professional sports to an eight year old.

Hey Roe, that is the same section I had a seat in down in the old KC ball park, but mine was behind a steel column.

RoeDapple 6 years, 11 months ago

Yup, you are correct. It was steel.

Dang, if we're not counting the Jayhawk B-Ball games the last two years. . . .

I'd guess a Royal's game, pre-strike.

LadyJ 6 years, 11 months ago

Do auctions count, somebody wins? Watched people when the doors opened for Black Friday once.

Royals 6 years, 11 months ago

Royals game.

Harlem Globetrotters - about 1990

I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. (almost the oldest joke in the world)

I used to go to the gym six days/week, had my own bench at home and rode my bike daily for one hour, mostly hill country out here. Once you start benching 315# you start getting noticed at the gym. By the time you get to 365# there gets to be too much man to man grab a$$ congratulations. That cr@p makes me uncomfortable. Especially when they follow you to the shower

Mud wrestling at the Flamingo Club.

Bob Harvey 6 years, 11 months ago

Chiefs for the last 20 years. If they strike it will like the Royals since 94. Not again.

kernal 6 years, 11 months ago

Suns vs Celtics in Phoenix so long ago, I've lost count.

RoeDapple 6 years, 11 months ago

Nah, multi you know Mrs Roe would never let me have that many tattoos. Finally after forty years of not smoking she allowed me to get this one. I still haven't figured out why everyone who sees it burst out laughing. Lotsa people smoked that brand.

This morning on a Topeka country and western radio station, the call in question was "Should Pole Dancing be allowed as an Olympic event"? Evidently they had a lot of people call in about that one. Now if Hollis was here, his comment to that one would probably get disappearded.

Several MLB games every summer. Our goal is to visit every MLB stadium - but we've only been to ten so far. Used to go to a Chiefs game every year when my dad could get good tickets, but that dried up quite a while back. No interest in ever seeing a NBA game.

Deja Coffin 6 years, 11 months ago

We go to a couple of Royals game every season. My husband is a big Royals fan, in fact our son's 1st birthday party will have a Royals theme to it. I enjoy going to the games, especially when we got to sit in the crown seating, but I'm not big on watching them on t.v.
