Speaking of baseball. I went to the 2nd to last game at Veterans Stadium on Saturday. Say what you will about the Vet; it had rats, the turf was the worst in MLB or the NFL, it was sterile or looked like a toilet bowl. Weve heard it all. But it was our toiletbowl. Opposing teams hated playing there. The fans were crazy if not full-out insane, and would boo the home team just as enthusiastically as the visitors. It was a definite home-field advantage. I grew up watching sports there and will miss it. The Phillies did a class job of closing the stadium out.
