[USML Announce] Orioles - Yankees report

[Brad Jansen]

Gee....I remember going down to Sarasota sometime in the mid-80s when the
White Sox still played their ST games there. It was the 1st year for Ed
Smith Stadium and the locker rooms weren't completely built. The players
walked to their cars in their uniforms to drive back to the other stadium.
I remember Fisk barging through us adoring fans, yelling "Clear a path,
clear a path" and Ozzie signing autographs and talking up a storm. Best
memory was Ron Kittle holding court sitting on the end of a station wagon,
enjoying a brew or two. Those were the days....
