We would almost always sit on the first base side so we could be close to Kluszewski or Musial when the Redlegs or Cards came to town. It was there that I first learned of the NY fans' ability to respect other players...we loved both Klu and Stosh. I am glad to see that kind of respect for talented, decent ballplayers continue.
I'm sure this happens in other cities (I would guess, though, NOT in Philadelphia). Can any of you tell me if that happens elsewhere?
I know that every stadium Chipper has played his last game in has payed tribute.
I attend a bunch of games at Turner field every year....I know the lower deck fans appreciate good players on the other side.
