Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Detroit Tigers.
Ernie Harwell was calling the game.

With just my grandma.
Last game of the regular season, October 5th, 1980.
Twins at Royals.
I wouldn't attend another MLB game until 1996.
Interesting as my last MLB game was in 1994. Saw Ken Griffey with the Mariners play the Tigers.
Probably never attend another pro baseball game, college ball fits the bill nicely now!

Second game, I was eight. 1979, Busch Stadium, they had a countdown for Lou Brock approaching 3,000 hits. I think they were about 30 away. I remember being surprised that no kids had a glove. I remember finding it curious why habits were so varying in different ballparks.

First NL game: Houston Astros vs Giants at Candlestick Park. It was a Sunday afternoon game so it wasn't cold and windy and if I recall it was a sellout. Giants won 7-3.
First AL game: Red Sox vs A's at the Oakland Coliseum. Sat in the RF bleachers so got to see Jose Canseco close up all game. He also homered in that game. A's won but I can't remember the score.

Len Dykstra and George Foster hit home runs that day.

KC Royals vs Seattle Pilots, at Sicks Stadium.
Seattle won 5-3, thanks to a rare Ray Olyer HR. I still have the ticket stub.
Go Pilots!!!!

Ray Oyler! Favorite player of mine on the 68 Tigers. My brother was a huge Al Kaline fan, so I chose the underdog Oyler to cheer for.
Drove my brother up the wall.

It seems strange that it would bother him, considering that your guy was a total stiff.

....and that was on his best day.
Didn't take much though to impress an 11 year old baseball fan.
