Stadium #5 Fenway


That's me standing outside the monster during Nomar's rookie season. Sat in left field section 33 I believe. Felt like I was watching a game via a time warp, especially since the teams were wearing throwback uniforms. The Braves were in town and they had uniforms with Boston across their chests. Mo Vaughn looked ridiculous in the super baggy uniform. Nomar had a hit in one of the last games of his rookie hit streak. I liked that shirt I'm wearing so much that when I lost it a few months later I went back to get another one in Salem.

Stadium #4 Fulton-County Stadium



August 25, 1996- 1996 Olympic backwash! Rit, Max and I traveled down south with Bram from Holland for a slice of Americana. While we didn't "midget golf" on the trip Bram did get to "hump a wheel chair." The Cubs were in town and Mark Wohlers was...wild! The new stadium was right next door and just recovering from Olympic use. The first few stadiums I went to I bought bibs. Rit is sporting a Stuckey's t- shirt. We saw the World of Coca-Cola and I remember being profoundly disappointed at how Max Headroom was almost nowhere to be found.
