    That's a meanspirited lie. He was in the ballpark at 2:30 sharp every day. Granted, he then slept in his locker room recliner until 6:45, but it's just mean to act like he wasn't in the park at all!

    dusty gets there so he can get his shipment of toothpicks delivered early.
    there's nothing like bowling a 300 game! 13 now and retired.

    So if a night games goes long, and there is a day game the next day, does Dusty just sleep in the tub or something?

    Always loved that story. Place is reportedly showing a lot of age these days, but that would have been pretty cool back in the day.

    Related question: Why do fans show up hours before the game and then complain the game is too long?

    Baseball is a culture, it's a life. On the road or at home some guys live in the clubhouse, I want those guys on my side

    For 6 months out of the year, this is his life. His ONLY life.

    I'd be there early too.

    I'd be there early too, but let's be honest, it is completely unnecessary

    I watched our bullpen guys go through warm-ups in Texas...they were burning about as many calories "warming up" as I was watching them.
