The Game Day Luncheon & the players

[tornado]

Lots of the old time players present and everyone having a great time...

Tony Barone spoke and had a lot to say - some funny stories and he explained why the others didn't make it...
Versace having knee surgery this week - Thirdkill have a lot of personal difficulties...

Present, of course Willie Scott - but also present and chatting with fans..
Pierre Cooper
Eddie Mathews
Mitchell JJ Anderson -- looking great and feeling great!
Donald Reese
Assistant from that era - Jay Eck
The SID then - Joe Dalfonso
Ron Ferguson who was then the AD...
also - Eugene Link (Team Manager)


Too bad they're not going to have the current players scrimmage these guys...
JJ, Eddie, Pierre, Willie are all in great shape and could hold their own..
and Donald Reese - although in good shape - would really fill the low post....

a last minute push has apparent boosted student/faculty ticket sales of tickets for tonight by several hundred....that's great news!

I did notice a line of 5 or 6 people at the RC ticket window when I was on campus at about 11am. So maybe it will be a full house.
