My 1st Detroit Tigers game ever . . .
.
. . . still stands out to me even today. Detroit was playing at home against Baltimore. We were located about 5 rows up in the left field bleachers. Eddie Murray had hit two home runs (one from each side of the plate) for Baltimore. But John Wockenfuss of the Tigers hit one of his infrequent home runs to carry the day for the Tigers. And the fact that his home run landed 12 feet or so from where we were seated only made it that much more dramatic. What a day.
