Good Times at Cooper Stadium

[BUCKYLE]

Being from Newark, going to a Clippers game was kind of a big deal. We only went to Columbus once or twice a month, and usually just to Eastland Mall then Red Lobster. Yeah, so I'm white trash. Anyway, when I was about twelve, I was a husky dude. So on the way to the game, my mom tells me it's DADN, and I remember getting my game face on. My previous record was five, and I knew I could beat that. They had the rule that you could only get five dogs per person. I walk up to the stand nearest my seat, order ten (I didn't know about the rule yet), and dude tells me five is the limit. So I take five, eat them, and decide I'm just gonna hit up another concession stand. So as I'm walking by the first stand I visitied, the dude working yells at me. "I know what you're up to, don't you go down there and buy more! You're only allowed five!!!"...so I took the fuck off running. I got five more, ate three, and paraded the other two in front of the dude that yelled at me. I may or may not have "walked like an Egyptian" in front of him, hot dog in each hand.

One time, we were popping cups (if you dont know, you never will) and I banged my knee on the chair in front of me. Had to get Cooper Stadium first aid... which may have been just pouring beer over my bleeding leg.

Popping cups. Damn.....I hadn't thought of that in 15+ years.

I was a proud member of Bucky's Bunch. I had the pennant to prove it. I still have some old baseball cards that the Clippers gave out. This lot, except I think I have the whole set for that season.

Columbus Clippers, the fans are half the fun...
No matter if they're winning or if they've had a spell...
Columbus Clippers, ring your bell"

Yeah, there's a box of my old shit down in the basement. All of the cards are in plastic slips in one of those card collecting books.

I think there's an autographed Tim Belcher card in there, too from when he spoke at my elementary school.

Damn. Tim Belcher. I went to elementary school with his cousin/second cousin, some shit. I called bullshit on the dude. He came back to school monday with an autographed card. That dude was a celebrity at our school.

Damn. Tim Belcher.
