We’d leave right after school, spend 4-5 hours on the bus before and after the game, whenever the Yankees played at the old rockpile.

A memorable sunny first Major League game for four of the Kohn family.

RF bleachers with two San Jose State classmates who knew the ropes. Being now 22, I was old enough to participate in the bleacher ritual which allowed us to bring our own beer into the seats. (No beer was sold in that area.) We each brought 9 brews so we would have a beer for each inning. I kept pace for six innings before nature made me take a walk.....final consumption was Jack 7, my comrades 9 each. They ragged me during the 50-mile trip home (I wasn't driving.) My bladder was now ready for major league beer appreciation!
