On one particular support column of the walkway (southwest, if memory serves), each "level" included a large image of a stick figure in free fall, as if you were watching someone drop from the top level. <br /><br />There was no "start of drop" or "impact" picture, but picturing a disaster scenario seems so naive today, especially since someone eventually DID fall off the concourse wall. I suspect that's when they removed the art itself, in advance of the Kingdome's later demolition.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-81011601596258744152012-06-15T19:05:28.994-05:002012-06-15T19:05:28.994-05:00On one occasion when my friend and I went to a Phi...On one occasion when my friend and I went to a Phillies game (as teenagers), we made ABSOLUTELY NO ATTEMPT to move down to better seats as the game progressed!<br /><br /><br />(Congrats on the milestone, Steve!)Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-62014089167755636882012-06-15T17:40:53.470-05:002012-06-15T17:40:53.470-05:00I was in attendance for a contest between the Peor...I was in attendance for a contest between the Peoria Chiefs and the Kane County Cougars at Wrigley Field in July of 2010. The game was titled, "The Road to Wrigley" and had the feel of a minor league atmosphere in a MLB stadium. The Chiefs have two mascots, ears of corn, that came from the grounds crew doors in the outfield and danced on the warning track every time the Chiefs scored. I have a picture of one of the ears of corn doing the "sprinkler" from that game. I'll forward you on the pic to see for yourself.

We ran into Paul Splittorff and Buck Martinez (of the Royals) in full uniforms and spikes at one of the concession stands at old Comiskey Park. It was during a rain delay.Johngyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416011578421652629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448843072296729151.post-74789521720047780462012-06-15T02:30:52.694-05:002012-06-15T02:30:52.694-05:00At a Giants game, the sprinklers went off in the 9...At a Giants game, the sprinklers went off in the 9th inning in the middle of a pitch.

I was sitting directly behind her and saw the ball very clearly.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.com
