Post by Stonehouse on Wed Aug 25, 2010 10:57 am

They are going up today... I hope aleppiek doesn't mind that I stole this photo from him! Smile



I'll post more as they go up... there will be posters of Tiffeny, Christine, Shannon, Steve Cherundolo, and Kasey Keller.

Wow! This will really add to the historical feeling in the place. I'm excited that they are doing this. I've always felt that a statue of Clive at the entrance to Merlo would be appropriate and very moving.

Location: Lowry the tailor lived there when boys were boys. In his day he was fond of the gun. He always carried his powder loose in the tail pocket of his coat. He usually had in his mouth a short dudeen; but in an evil moment he put the dudeen, lighted, in the pocket among the powder. Mr. Lowry was an eccentric man.

That's just tremendous! Very Happy

I believe there will be a statue of Clive eventually at the CCSC.

Seeing the signs in person is a great feeling -- well deserved acclaim for these star Pilots and all who played with them.

I was very impressed. I just stood there for probably 3-4 minutes just looking at them in detail. Was cool to see these players I watched at Merlo!!!

The banners ofpast historic players really set off the stadium if any of you get to see them in person they are pretty amazing... they are on the exterior back side of the stadium so you can see them approaching the stadium when walking in and from the road.

If opposing teams are on the turf practice field and must go through Merlo field to the locker room, all I can say is:

PSYCH!
