GET IN TO DODGER STADIUM?
“NO I DIDN’T” 🙂
You must be pretty DELETED ugly if you pose as Andy
Seeing Morgana jiggling down the infield ruined my attraction to that part of the female anatomy as a young teenager. I’m still a devoted leg man though.
Hot Rod must be talking about Morganna Roberts, who became known as “The Kissing Bandit.” I believe she started her routine in about the mid-1960’s; I remember reading about her antics in the L.A. Times and/or Herald-Examiner.
Morganna appeared in stadiums around the country, which made me wonder what she did for a daytime job. Somebody had to pay her travel expenses!
I was the coach of that trip to Thermal. Long frickin’ drive. The 18-1 win made the trip home bearable but he girls singing was tough to deal with! And the school district paid for the gas in the two vans.
I get in to all high school games free with my fake Mid Valley Sports credentials. I pose as Andy the Devil.
TIM YOU MEAN THE LOS ANGELES CHARGERS COME ON MAN BOLT UP!!!
Security never stopped the busty woman that ran on the field hug/kiss star players in the 80’s . Now just drunk streakers get tackled for a loss at football games. I never paid for any game for nearly 10 years. I walk in with the bands
I worked Dodgers Stadium when I played college ball. When Fernando pitched we had to patrol the fences. People would jump the fences and some would push the exit door open and let people in, some would make it in and blend into the crowd.
We used to jump the fence and get tickets at the ticket booths that used to be in left field.
How is it sneaking in when you pay 20$ to park, 15$ for a beer and 5$ for 8oz coke. The knot hole gang was a century ago. Those kids are all pushing up daises.
From Duane B.: Back when it was still possible to sneak in (at least when I heard that you could) parking was only $5, a dodger dog $3 and a soda $2.
Anyone know how the 4 way at San Dimas went?
I remember what musburger said. I was watching live and busting up.
What he said was 100% true, and 100% funny.
Don’t even wanna think of what the bribe was.
