This was at Rensselaer Park with Harry Carson, the year before he was inducted into the Hall Of Fame.

Anyone else you recognize?

Thanks for remembering to put these up.  It lends a welcome historical perspective, IMO. Bob

I don't know if we all realized how special those times were.

Ed: I think it's human nature (at least as a youth) to not appreciate what we have until it is gone.

When we get a bit older & have something (or nothing) to compare it to, a "light bulb" goes on for many of us.

Apparently, that's just the way things are.

@MightyGiants which week are you going to camp this year? Also what they did to fam fest Is just wrong. They basically turned it into a kids event.

My attendance at camp will depend on ticket availability (they go on "sale" the day after tomorrow).

I may be mis-remembering, but last year weren't people saying something changed where if you attend, you have no protection from direct sunlight? If so, that's tough if if the heat is anything like it is now and what the next 7-10 days look like.

Only the first year that camp was held at the Giants facilities were the bleachers unprotected.   Sice then, every year (including last year) has the same large tents over the stands (providing ample protection from the sun)

It's waiting in line that's a killer. Get there early.
