My Mom took me to a Twins game on September 22, 1968. Last game of the season. We sat in the $3 bleachers at Met Stadium. In the rain.
Cesar Tovar played all 9 positions.
He struck out Reggie Jackson in the first inning.
Twins won 2-1.
It sounds like a memory that has infiltrated your DNA. Baseball does that. My Dad and Mom fought a lot, but one year, they took me an my brother to see the Yankees play in New York (I’m from Buffalo), They were renovating Yankee Stadium that year, so they were playing in Shea. My folks didn’t fight for the whole trip. Best weekend of my young life.
