“We were a minor league team that didn't feed into any majors, in a town that loved just about every sport but ours. We were going nowhere and we knew it, so why not have fun?

“I grabbed hold of the altar rail to keep from falling, and then I couldn't seem to let go of it. It was so cold-the cold going right through me, taking my strength away.

around me.”
