WOW - Nice to see a 100% positive positive post - Thanks NUDAN - and the second night was good to. - what do you think about Johnny Kaplan - some speed and the potential for lots of stolen bases? Go SALTDOGS. Lets hope that being at home with fans behind them helps the team really get some momentum going. I'll be there every game to cheer them on.

I enjoy reading all of the posts - an old dog can learn new tricks - some of the posts are a learning experience, some are just entertaining, and a few can get your blood boiling.

PS - I've changed my name to OLDSALTYDOG to help clarify that I am OLDER THAN DIRT and that's how spellcheck choose the word "exposition" instead of "exhibition" when posting about the Beatrice game against the Wingnuts (oer maybe my brain and fingers were both frozen and not working after setting out in the bitter wet cold to watch that game - not mkany had the muster to do so). Glad everyone had a good laugh over that, but now that we have some home games to watch, there are real things to chat about.

Also, I don't work for Saltdogs PR or have any connection with them (my post about the Beatrice game was way before theirs, not a copy of what they had to say). I'm an unpaid PR - life has taught me that it is a lot healthier to be positive - and I am so glad to have baseball back in Lincoln after so many years that I only have good things to say about it. Every contact I've ever had with anyone in the organization ( interns, administration, players, coaches. Homer) tells me they are giving it their all and create a good experience for the fans with every game.

Yes I am that old - my grandpa and my uncle took me to those games. and when baseball was over in the fall, there were rodeos at the ball field. Every now and then I attend an American Legion game there. It's nice to see that old field has a new life.

This will break your heart - the folks who set next to me, were trying to pare down to a smaller living space about 10 years ago so they just threw away tons of stuff they had kept over the years. And in that stuff was programs, pictures, and autographs that the wife had from going to the Cheifs games as a girl.

Glad to see that you are a fan and that you buy, sell, and collect memorabilia - there has to be someone for every occasion to keep that history alive.

Awesome pictures - The Saltdogs should have a baseball history night and get you to display your memorabilia. I'd like that more than some of the other promotions they have. They could also buy some of your stories for the programs sheets for each home stand/teams. I like the nightly programs they had better a couple of years ago when they had little articles on Saltdogs players in there as am mostly interested on what is going on wioth the Saltdogs or the history of Lincoln, not so much on the other independent leagues or stuff they are putting in the programs now. Hope we do well against Shreveport starting tonight - the St. Paul series ended up well - Maybe we need all home games. See you at the ballpark
