7.4.92 I was one of the 42,104 people at Fulton County Stadium that was excited to see if the Cubs could score their first run here in a year! Upon arriving, we received an American flag (mini version) to wave in the 90 degree heat at 11:00AM! This is the CBS Saturday Morning game, and why not? Sitting about 5 rows from the top of the left field seats, we watched Jeff Blauser hit a 2 run homerun in the bottom of the first to set the Tomahock Chops in action...Brian Hunter added a solo shot in the 2nd to grow the lead to 3-0.....Mark Grace, in the midst of a ten game hitting streak, had an 0-4 day at the plate.
That would do it for the scoring....now the anticipation is all about fireworks! From our perspective, they were weak compared to the dynamic display we've grown accumstomed to in big Tacoma, Washington. Guess we'll have to get out the funnel.....Sem's turn! Goodnight......
Geared up for our drive to North Carolina, we stopped about 6 hours down the road at Duke University. Amazing campus - comparable to Oxford in my opinion....And, as luck would have it a bit later, the Durham Bulls were having a night game! Nice! For $3 big ones, we watched a 1 all tie for 8 innings, hoping that we'd get to see the Bull go crazy in the outfield after a homerun. No such luck. But, luck would have it that we spent the night in the cozy confines of a Motel 6 rather than one of those luxurious campsites we'd grown accustomed to.
