My friend and I would take a bus to Colt Stadium and watch the Colt 45s with Rusty play. Those were the days. We could take in a day game in right field seats sitting near Mr. Staub and eat a couple of dogs and cokes all on our allowance. When the dome was complete it was different. Prices high and it never felt like baseball in there.
