30 Years Today..

On this date in 1979, I went to my first baseball game. Very hard to believe that 30 years has come and gone. It was at Veteran's Stadium (below) in Philadelphia, and I got to see Phil Niekro of the Braves pitch against Steve Carlton of the Phillies. My Grandfather (above, with a cute young me) ran bus trips every year to the Vet and Yankee Stadium, and at age 5, it was deemed that I was old enough to go. It was the beginning of a long odyssey that continues today. I remember alot about that day, and 30 years and 400 attended games later, I am still thankful to my Grandpa's huge role in making me the fan I am today.
