Bill StoneJune 4, 1958. My very first major league game. The Dodgers had come to LA and played in the the LA Memorial Coliseum. We lived in Burbank, California and couldn't wait for the team to get to California. That day my Dad took my brother and me to the game and we saw Brooklyn (LA) beat the Cincinnati Reds. I remember seeing Reese, Snider, Hodges, Furillo,Gilliam and Padres. I especially remember Steve Bilko playing for Cincinnati --since he had been my mosted hated player since he always caused problems for my Hollywood Stars in the PCL. I am sure it wasn't the greatest game ever played but certainly brought major league baseball to life for a 12year boy back then.
