re: On this date in 1988 Miami brought its mascot to Tiger Stadium

I was there. I only brought a poncho and everyone around us had umbrellas so all the water that started at the top of the student section made its way down all those umbrellas into the hole left by my stupidity. We eventually got so tired of it we started catching water in our cups and throwing it back up hill. If you have ever seen the swirl of mist as a crop duster makes his run down a field that is what the rain looked like in Tiger Stadium that night. It was falling down into the bowl then the wind was blowing it back up both sides in a swirl of water, lost umbrellas and sadness. They banned umbrellas in the stadium after that night.
