The organist at Three Rivers Stadium used to play the opening riff of “Light My Fire” before each of his at-bats.
Vince Lascheid. Pittsburgh legend. I loved going to games as a kid and hearing When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again whenever Johnny Ray came at bat.
I was a huge fan as a kid which is why it annoys me that I only recently learned it’s an anagram of his name.
Am I thinking of wrong guy or wasn’t he a butcher in the field? Didn’t he have a nickname because of it?
Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing as a baseball player. Give me The Guess Who. They have the courage to be drunken buffoons, which makes them clutch hitters...

Those fans at Three Rivers Stadium sure were surprised that night he whipped it out.
drunkenly yelling at the fans, "you're all a bunch of slaves!"
Which is why Dock Ellis gets songwriting credit on Not To Touch The Earth
Chris Berman called him "Jim - 'Riders on the Storm' Morrison" on "SportsCenter".
The batter awoke before dawn, he put his cleats on…
And he walked on down the hall...to the dugout.
He went into the room where Bobby Bonilla was . . . and he . . . paid a visit to Andy van Slyke
Leyland?
Yes, son.
I want to kill you...

Well shit, I just learned 30 seconds ago.
Here is a 2023 interview of Morrison by his daughter. He loves her madly.
Well, he is already her daddy.
He loves her as she's walking out the door.
Am I thinking of wrong guy or wasn’t he a butcher in the field? Didn’t he have a nickname because of it?
He can do anything
He sailed on a Crystal Ship.
He made the blue cars go away
I didn't know Robert California was also once a baseball player
I’m sure I have this exact card
Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing as a baseball player. Give me The Guess Who. They have the courage to be drunken buffoons, which makes them clutch hitters...
On the perimeter there are no stars

Gave me a good laugh on a boring afternoon. Thank you! 😂😂😂

No one here gets, three outs alive.

That 87 Topps set is my favorite set of cards ever.
Cardinals had Mike Tyson in the 70's. No relation to the boxer 😀
Pretty neat, pretty neat.
Those Pittsburgh hats were ugly
