I was curious as to what happened on that date. Proud baseball fan ? :mrgreen:

". . .behind the G-Man's Trousers" ?

i think some one used the news paper as a plug for the spout and over the years it got pushed in to the horn. have seen this material used for that purpose in the past. when rolled up very tight it will work for a time.

I"m thinking if that"s the case (you might be right) there are at least 2 plugs worth !
