Sept. 16th, 1984...
My favorite memory is the 1st game my Dad took me to on Sept. 16th, 1984 when I was 9 years old. It was at Tiger Stadium against the Blue Jays and the Tigers were only about a month away from winning the World Series. We sat in the upper deck on the 3rd base side and I remember being surprised how 'green' the grass was and how 'white' the Tigers uniforms were....the colors were very distinct to me. They won that day and I remember Chet Lemon hitting a home run that rose high in the sky before landing in the left field stands.....and I remember the 'wave' traveling in opposite directions in the upper and lower decks. That was a great time, thanks Dad!!
