I'm just impressed you got better seats than the legends each time.

A little wow, Frank.

Ray,

Our choice was to sit in front of Magic or behind him.

I was at the first ever interleague 'subway series' game in 1997 at The Stadium…

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Me too. Good one. Dave Mlicki shutout ... Todd Hundley stole home. 6-0, good guys.

Saw Simon & Garfunkel's 1981 Central Park reunion with 400,000 close friends, except not really if you read the severely revised crowd estimates for all the Great Lawn shows ... more like 100,000+. They established how many people fit on and around the Great Lawn by, you know, counting them.

Also, sadly, I experienced 9/11 a very short distance from the World Trade Center.

I saw Mike Schmidt hit 4 HRs in a game at Wrigley Field in 18-16 affair at age 9 in April 1976. Drove up with my dad, Grandfather and cousins from Kankakee, IL where they lived. Still remember his last home run landing in the basket in left center.

Saw Bob Forsch throw no-hitter in April 1978 in St. Louis with my dad and brother at age 11. In the bleachers.

Since this is kind of a music theme...

Saw Bon Jovi open up for Ratt in St. Louis about 1983 or so. Can't make this stuff up. Only reason I mention is that Bon Jovi was opening band and obviously ended up making it much bigger than Ratt. Still love Ratt "Out of the Cellar" record though.

Default Hank Arron

Our 12 year old baseball team was at the opening night of the Mobile Bay Bears. the boys were allowed to go onto the field meet the players and got a signed ball from the players. Hank Arron threw out the first pitch. Cool hay guys that's Hank Arron I don't think a single kid new who he was?. after that the boys were brought to the box to meet him?. we didn't ask they came to us and offered would the boys like to meet him?. . the boys stood in line balls in hand. he was ten feet from the kids . and refused to sign a single autograph for the kids. I could understand 50 kids there was 8 and no one else.
That's my memory of a game that I was at.
