The 3rd periodic 340 Club Reunion has been postponed indefinitely

Before there was an Animal House there was a 340 Club; before there was a Dean Wormer there was a Harold "the fuck" Martin; before there was John Blutarsky or a Daniel Simpson Day there was Tim Lutter, Sil Simpson, Dan Joyce, Tim Getzloff, Dick Lichty, Jim Shay, Phil Zangari, Chris Joyce, Dave Petkosh, Mitch Herr, Kenny Giltner, Dean Staherski, Randy Brown, John Emswiler, Sue Krimmell Emswiler and myself; before there were any Delta Tau Chi pledge pins, there were 340 Club cards; before Otis Day & the Knights, the 340 Jukebox; before there were Delta Brothers there were the usual gang of idiots that congregated at 328, 340 (twice) and 338 West King Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a decade beginning in August 1974. This blog is dedicated to those idiots and those times. God bless Kenny, Mitch and Chris; may they rest in peace.

The Bird Takes A Pounding

Phil & I (together or separately depending to which one of us you talk to) attended the 47th MLB All-Star game hosted by the City of Brotherly Love on July 13, 1976. A total of 63,974 fans packed the Vet that night to see the Nationals pound the Americans by a score of 7-1. The NL jumped on rookie starter Mark Fydrich in the first inning and never looked back. George Foster (game MVP) and Cesar Cedeno each poked two run shots. A total of ten Hall of Famers got into the game: Brett, Carew, Fisk, Hunter, Yastrzemski, Seaver, Bench, Morgan, and Perez with Fingers & Gossage remaining in the AL bullpen. Sil may also have attended the game with us. Memories are fragile things (now they tell us).

Not I. I've never been to an All Star Game. Don't much care for exhibitions, unless they're in March in Florida.

I do remember seeing the Orioles beat The Bird in Baltimore that summer. It may have been July 4.
