My dad and I went to the Dodgers-Red Sox at the Coliseum along with 115,000 other people. It was a lot of fun walking around the stadium before the game with all the tailgaters and mariachi bands. Dodgers' fans are a diverse and wild bunch. The field itself was a fun novelty, but I could see how it would get frustrating playing more than a few games there. The left field fence was only 201 ft. away, with a 60 ft. high screen. So, guys would hit scorching line drives off the wall that only went for a single, while others would hit little fly balls that would be outs anywhere else but would clear the screen for a home run. The best part is the Dodgers didn't even play with a left fielder. They just had Andruw Jones play up the middle like a rover while Andre Ethier covered left-center. Unfortunately, nobody hit a ground ball up the middle for Jones to field, although he did tag somebody out at second on a steal attempt. And now I can say I was part of the biggest crowd ever to see a major league baseball game!

I don'y know if you were part of the biggest crowd. I think I was.
PS. You gave me a hard time about not emailing you and then I did and you never emailed me back. Sad Chris, very sad.
Please tell me you are kidding about emailing me a second time. I got your first email and responded and never heard back.
