Bormio Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 In 1979 I sold beer for the Orioles (went to college in Baltimore). Beer was $1.10 - and we had to lug the bottles around in the stands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bormio Posted July 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Park was great. Lots of stuff on the club level. Statue of Gaylord Perry outside - he coached college ball in Gaffney, SC many years ago after he retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turned around - Al Bumbry was looking up. Stargell had just gone deep for a 2-1 lead. Pirates won 4-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the F ing WS and the field could host a 7 on 7! Oakland is the last of the dual use stadiums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to Camden Yards, and it is a neat park, but old Memorial Stadium has a lot of memories. I watched more pro games there than anywhere else in my life. And the town still misses the Colts - that town loved them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love AT&T, but trying to hit PNC next year. Loved Wrigley and Fenway, like churches to me. Going to Petco next month for annual trek, fun stadium and Gas Lamp right there. As much as it pains me, Dodgers stadium is clean as shit and has that retro feel to it and is a good baseball experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
