http://www.baseball-almanac.com/stadium/st_crosl.shtmlOn May 24, 1935, President Franklin Roosevelt turned on six-hundred Crosley Field stadium lights by pushing a button five-hundred miles away. He was at the White House in Washington, D.C. and officially started the first night game in Major League history.

And, how did you enjoy it, Jack? No respect. No respect! I'd participate in this thread if we actually had a professional baseball team in Cleveland.

So, you're not bothering with the smilies any more, huh Jack? Just gonna make your own now...
BTW, you look extraordinarily sprightly for a 804 yr old.

Got to love the performance by Ricky Romero tonight! Great young pitching talent. Pitched a 1 hitter. The Blue Jays could be really 8-0 if it wasn't for 2 blown saves by Frasor.
Maybe Gaston will listen to me and move Frasor to the 7th or 8th and split closing duties with Gregg and Downs and use Downs in the 9th when Gregg needs a day off.
I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.

BTW, you look extraordinarily sprightly for a 804 yr old. You've figured out my secret to success. If I claim to be much older than I am, everyone says "BOY! You look great for your age!" If I tell the truth, they think "UGH! He's a real disaster!"

At 804 years old, I figure you must secretly be an elf. I mean c'mon, no humans live THAT long.
