Small world, Charlie! My wife and I were skiing at Stowe that same morning, and the spring snow was thick. My flat feet were killing me, and we were not skiing all that well, as we didn’t have nearly the ski experience we now have. So I asked her, “What do you say we go see the Phillies this afternoon?” She asked, “How long will it take to get there?” (She had no idea they were playing in Montreal.). I said, “About 2 hr.” So we made the trip. I remember dinner in Montreal that night. it was the first time I ever had Lobster fra Diavolo. I also remember answering the border guard’s questions when we returned to the States that night. When he asked where we were, how long we were in the country and the purpose of our trip, I told him we just went to see Pete Rose get his 4000th Coup Sûr! It’s funny how vivid my memories are of that day that was over 37 years ago.
