My son surprised me yesterday, loaded me up in his car and we drove to Montreal to see the Als lose. Still, I'm not complaining. We were in the VanDoos section... they had reserved places for all the men and women going to Afghanistan in October. We were at field level and NO cute girl was safe when they walked in front of this section, including the cheerleaders... the guys would actually start singing. At one point near the end of the game, they caught the mascot and body-surfed him.
There were about 10 Expos from the 1981 season as the Als special guests... Warren Cromartie, Andre Dawson, Larry Parrish, Tim Raines, Bill (Spaceman) Lee and a few others. A lot of memories for sure.
