I worked for Midwest Services, so we did the ushering (or usherette-ing!) and security and crowd control and such, not just for baseball games, but for concerts and Packer games, and the occasional odd jobs like responding to post-All Star Game program requests as well. When I first started working at County Stadium, there couldn’t have been more than 10 of us girls working security, and over 300 guys. The girls told me that the older guys would be really nice to me, but that the younger guys wouldn’t give me the time of day. It was true that the older guys took me under their wing, showed me pictures of their grandkids, taught me all the little, “Do you know what that is for?” around County Stadium, and taught me so much more about baseball than I ever knew before.

Author Jim Cryns joined the show Wednesday to talk about his new book that will be something all Milwaukee Brewers fans will love. “On Story Parkway - Remembering County Stadium” has 152 never before seen photos of the old stadium. The book covers everything from the original financing of the stadium, to construction to its eventual demolition and everything in between. If you are a Milwaukee Brewers fan this book is for you. It has memories from over 250 people, from former players to every day fans to other athletes. It is a necessary book for every Milwaukee Brewers fan. (Photo/Getty Images)

I M READING THE Hank Aaron story, another of my one dollar purchases from a local library. I could do a book review every week if I had more time for reading. When Hank was a boy in Mobile, kids threw bottle caps for baseballs, and they hit them with broom sticks. No
wonder that town produced so many Hall of Famers. So much I didn t know about one of my boyhood idols.
