Sounds like you've been there. I grew up on the southside of St. Pete, played Little League at Bartlett Park, went to Southside Jr. High, rode my bike all over downtown from about '60 to '66, went to many spring training games at Al Lang Field and had lots of autographs from Roger Maris to Frank Robinson. I remember pitcher Jim Kaat as a rookie came and spoke to my elementary class, biggest person I had ever seen. We use to ride our homemade soapbox derby carts down Roser Park hill (9th Ave & 6th St South) and see who could miss the palm trees and be the closest to the canal without going in, hanging one wheel off the seawall was usually the winner.
