With traffic ruining our trip to Venice Beach this morning, we took a detour directly to Anaheim Stadium a little early - like 3 1/2 hours early! At least we found a great parking spot. We spent the next 90 minutes playing frisbee and football in the empty parking lot, while evaluating the latest Black Crowes CD. We liked "Remedy", but in our minds, nothing could beat "Hard to Handle"....
June 12, 1992 Anaheim was the first stop outside of Seattle where our tix were provided by the organization. And what seats they were! We sat right next to Gene Autrey and his wife, the owners of the club. They guessed that we were from out of town and once we told them where we were from, they asked us if we were familiar with couple radio stations they owned in our neck of the woods. We enjoyed watching his expression throughout the night. I'm sure he was proud of his last-place club, losing 23 of their last 26....AND, the food here was terrible. Like Gene's wife, this place needs a facelift.
Mark Langston took the hill against Kansas City's Pichardo. Wally Joyner made his first appearance back at the "Big A" after signing with the Royals in the off-season. ESPN thought highly enough about this game that they were broadcasting it (as they did with our first game at the Kingdome).
Joyner went 0-4 with one K and Langston only needed 2 1/2 hours to record a complete game shutout 5-0. Alvin Davis did not play.
What is it about these LA teams? Two complete game shutouts within the span of a week? Go figure. It's been said that "Chicks dig the longball", but I might add that the three representatives of the "No Worries Tour 1992" also enjoy the longball. I guess we'll have to wait until Texas.
