[The Count]

OT - The Count

I changed my handle on the boards to "The Count" after teecee called me "Count", jabbing at me and my CPA views refering to me as a bean counter or comparing me to The Count on Sesame Street or both. I'm a Giant fan that went to the Stick frequently in the 70s. I remember watching John "The Count" Montefusco's first game on TV against hated Dodgers. He came in in the first or second inning with the Giants down a few runs, bases juiced, nobody out and retired the side only letting one runner score. HOF broadcaster Lon Simmons immediately dubs him "The Count". He comes up for his first at bat and hits it out. The Giants come back and he gets the win. So I called myself "The Count" in reference to my accounting background and as a reminder of that great game and my days out at the Stick.

Thanks for your post - good memories.
