I am not including college. Lots of great memorys here. Some of these are now history like the Met in Minn. [They used to have bat days and kids would bang miniture bats against metal floor. I think Fish and I probably were at the same game some time as kids]. Another time, My dad was determined to see opening day when A's were a dynasty and Vida Blue was opening day pitcher. Froze my asss off.
Anyway, My list
I am dating my self on lots of these.
