2.7L vs. 2.5L?

We converge on Philadelphia for a Boxster get together. We can hook up at the Mummer's Museum (Do not make fun of the Mummers. You'll get beat up). I'll take you deep into the old neighborhood for a real Philly Cheesesteak. Not one of those tourist trap jobs, but a true "I can't hold onto this sucker" grease runnin' down your forearm Cheesesteak (Do not order lettuce tomato and mayonaise. You'll get beat up). We can catch an afternoon Phillies game at the new stadium (Do not wear another team's jersey. You'll get beat up). Then we can squirt across the bridge and downashore. I'm certain the Jersey Troopers would be happy to settle the whole 2.5, 2.7, 3.2 argument for us. (The guys with the fastest cars will get beat up). Then, we can head to Cozy Morley's in Wildwood for a night of beer and oldies, watch the dolphins jumping in the Atlantic at daybreak and then head back to our respective parts of the globe.

On second thought, let's not. We'll get beat up.

This takes me back. I was at the last Phillies game at Connie Mack. My college roomate actually took one of the seats and managed to get it out of the stadium since the fans were actually running down on the field, trying to pull up home plate.

I bet he still has that seat!

Small world man! Some of my classmates and I made the front page of the Inquirer and the Evening Bulletin with our plans to try to save Connie Mack from being torn down. It didn't work. I saw my first major league game there with my Grandfather. I still have one of those little bats they used to give out on Bat Day. What were they thinking?!?! A stadium full of Philadelphians, a losing team, unlimited beer, and they hand everybody a bat?!?!? Ah, the good old days.

The game you saw never concluded, as I remember, because the stadium was being systematically disassembled by the rioting fans.

"The game you saw never concluded, as I remember, because the stadium was being systematical disassembled by the rioting fans."

Yes, it was exciting, at least for a college student. I remember they used to have college student night, like $2 to get in.

In those days, the Phillies were not a very good team but we had a great time at the games.

Good stuff!
