91's recap of visits



This is how I summed up my visits on WIS. That's my dad and I in Homestead Grey caps.

  • Vet my first visit i saw charlie hayes hit a walkoff HR in extra innings, years later i saw a double header vs a's in final season of vet, now i have two seats from vet in my living room
  • Fulton-County was there just days after 96 olympics, wohlers was wild and the crowd was laid back
  • Camden been there twice, first time was one of Cals rare days off, last yr saw Vlad hit HR
  • on 5 game, 4 stadium, 3 city tour, i was frightened by fireworks at Skydome attacked by flying ants at Comerica, ate loads of corn on the cob at Comiskey II and saw a double header vs LA @Wrigley
  • Olympic stadium does this count as a MLB game, i saw my beloved brew crew play in a foreign country
  • Fenway during Nomars rookie season i saw the last game of his hit streak while they played the braves in throwbacks
  • Pacbell got engaged earlier in the day in SF, then ate garlic fries while kent was booed in his return to SF, stupidly didnt go to see willie mays statue, but it was a pretty good day
  • Three Rivers saw Sosa's 58th in 98! doesnt have the same clout it used to
  • Citizens Bank nice new stadium, ashburns alley is sweet, took pictures on mike schmidt statue
  • Shea go to at least one brewer game a year, remember when darryl returned from LA and he homered, my bro was on the field when they wrecked it by clinching first in 86
  • Yankee stadium best game i saw there was 1-0 over indians when mel hall hit a walkoff homer for yanks, saw clemens pussyfoot around bonds and walk him several times, was at sox win over mariano and yanks in sept last yr, i remember bombo rivera throwing his helmet into the crowd
  • Jacobs one of my favorite parks, didnt realize it was so close to Gund, saw a good sox-tribe game
  • RFK saw 8th win of nats crazy win streak, ichiro was in town, stadium kind of dumpy reminds of shea, but easy transport back and forth
  • Busch II great fans excellent baseball vibe, bowling HOF right next door, plenty of reg cards were hurt and they lost the gints
  • Kauffman royals won an extra inning road game against the defending champ bosox, yes red sox nation was in the house, schilling was on the kc program cover
  • PNC sweet new stadium a little further up the river than old stadium, crossed clemente bridge and saw pirates play stros, freddy sanchez led lead in avg and taveras con't hit streak
