@Arnold D. Cribari posted:Mark, although you and I are not Brooklyn Dodger fans, one reason for that being that they no longer exist, in order to sooth you regarding the Pirate's losing season, I encourage you to read the charming book: Wait Till Next Year, written by the Presidential historian, Doris Kearns Goodwin.
This book is beautifully written, and among a handful of the most enjoyable books I have ever read.
After reading it, if I was born 10 years earlier (1941 instead of 1951) and know what I know now, I would have been a Brookkyn Dodger fan instead of a Yankee fan.
And, of course, you will always have the 1960 World Series and that glorious moment: Bill Mazeroski's home run.

😊 I have a picture of Maz rounding the bases that day 62 years ago on top of the file cabinet.
We have to remember in the mid ‘90s the Pirates could have met the same fate as the Brooklyn Dodgers. Wait Until Next Year sounds good.
Back to the layout. When I was a teenager, I worked on my layout in out basement that was lit by two 60 watt bulbs. At that time I was able to get a Pittsburgh AM Top 40s station on the radio. It was a refuge for a shy high school kid. I don’t listen to music much now. However, that was when I learned how therapeutic a model railroad is.
