I have one man who started working here in 1924." he added. He was referring to Robert Ford. 77. who started working as a signal flagman relaying information to The Star's press box.

After two years of this work. Ford started working in the stands seating people. In 1950. he was among the first patrolmen hired. Today, he has 800 patrolmen working for him as he heads the supervision of crowd control in the stands.
