S GrossFirst MLB game:
1969, Shibe Park, Philadelphia: Jim Bunning was then with LA and going for his 200th win. It was one of those situations were nearly all were rooting against the home team. But Phils won and kept him at 199. It was the '69 Phils (99 losses) and we were able to sit a few rows from first.
The 2 things I remember best:
1 -- The giant left field bleachers, like a massive black vacant endless wall to no where.
2 -- The players were NOT these giants you saw on TV. They were just average looking guys.
