    I was at the 1970 game - I think I counted 19 plus Earl Weaver. There's several more who should be (or, as in the case of Rose, would have been had he not fouled up his life).

    For you guys that can come up with a list, congrats! I’m with Roy, it would take me awhile and a lot of research. No surprise Big Klu quickly responded, and I say that with much respect.

    Jeez, I forgot All Star games. I’ll have to revisit my list. Trouble is, I don’t know if they all played. I saw them on the field. Does that count? AS games in those days weren’t played like they are now where everyone plays.

    I'll guess about 50 over the approximately 40 games I've been to in my lifetime.

    Same for me. I saw him play when he was with the Reds at Nationals Park. I can remember telling my wife he may just be a HOFer some day. And here he is....
