No unfortunately, I haven't dbuck. I grew up watching them and admiring them. There is something nostalgic about the magic of that game. You saw some of the greats play ball if you watched it during the 40's through 60's--Ted Williams, Stan (the man) Musial, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and the list goes on and on. That was well before my time and I look at the great era, realizing what fun that must have been to go to the ball park! How lucky you were to ride the rails and go to the games. Some of my relation is from Lockland and Redding, OH and I need to take some time away to catch a game--though, I wouldn't recognize any of the players since I left my interest of baseball in '84 when they went on strike and me as a young boy, left disillusioned. Oh, did you ever see the round barn (turnstyle ?) in Cincy? I have seen pictures of it, but I never saw it.

Thanks for sharing such a great story dbuck,

You are Welcome. Been thru the turnstyle several times. Not to long ago one was up for sale.
