"Dad split 4 season tickets to Dodger games with 3 guys he worked with"

That is pretty cool. For me, suppliers to my dad's company comped him a lot of tickets (8-10 games per year), good seats lower level behind the Dodger dugout about halfway up. I saw a lot of big games including: three games during Drysdale's scoreless inning stretch, Koufax (at the coliseum as well as at Dodger Stadium), 'the throw' by Joe Ferguson (against the A's), Yankees and Orioles in the World Series, Manny Mota foul off 12 consecutive pitches before advancing a runner, an inside the park home run by Willie Davis, plus Maury Wills and his stolen bases.

I was pretty lucky, dad was not so much into baseball but new I loved it and so did my Mom, who was with me for many of those games (since I was too young to drive!).

Good memories!

To: Michael.SF.

When I graduated college I moved to Houston, Texas.
A friend said to me, You’re a baseball fan, choose a date and let’s go to a ball game.
Soooo,
As Nolan Ryan broke Kofax’s record for hitless games I was behing third base, half way up on the bottom tier of the Astrodome yelling “GO BLUE” in to the 9th inning as folks from the upper tiers were throwing cokes down trying to hit me.
I can’t find myself to root any more for the dodgers with this ownership.
Tried the Marlins but their ownership is even worse so I root for Tampa at this point. Go figure.
And it is opening day and the best part is the damn N.Y. Mets have left Port St. Lucie. Good Ridance.
