Updated Resume

I've updated my baseball resume, and if you click here or at the margin at right, the resume will pop up. The big changes are that this is my 25th year as a Giants season ticket holder, despite being only 44 years old, and Yankee Stadium is a park I've attended that is no longer in use because a new one is being built.

Updated Resume

I have updated my Baseball Resume as a result of attending the All-Star game, and a new Busch Stadium being built, and a few other minor tweaks.

My Baseball Resumé

[Updated 08-07-09; updates in red]

• Attended nearly 1000 major league games in 18 ballparks (9 no longer in use).
• Attended 8 World Series games in 4 different World Series, '88, '89, '90, '02 (was one strike away from seeing '86 Series in Anaheim.)
• Attended every game of 1989 series, including earthquake game.
• Attended every post-season game played in Bay Area in 1989.
• Attended two All-Star Games - 1987 Oakland and 2007 in San Francisco
• Have caught 10 foul balls in 4 different ballparks.
• Have caught 8 home run balls in two different ballparks, including 3 in one game.
• Attended 173 regular season games in 1986 in 11 ballparks.
• Attended 165 regular season games in 1987 plus 11 spring training, 1 All Star and 3 post season for a total of 180 that year.
• Visited Wrigley Field (day) and Old Comiskey Park (night) both in one day, on two consecutive days. (which was part of a greater trip....)
• Did whirlwind tour: 8 games in 5 days in 5 different ballparks.
• Witnessed two triple plays (A's hit into one, Giants hit into one)
• Witnessed two inside-the-park gramd slams (A's gave one up, Giants gave one up)
• Witnessed Barry Bonds' 71st home run, Steve Carlton's 4000th strikeout, Mike Schmidt's last major league game, Bob Brenly's ML record 4 errors in one inning, Reggie Jackson hitting 3 HR's in one game, all time strikeout record in a game for both teams.
• Turned in, with friends, more All-Star ballots voting against Steve Sax (and for Ryne Sandberg) in 1982 than Sandberg's victory margin.
• Giants season ticket holder for, yes, it's true, 25 years now!
• Caught an A's home run in the bleachers - the game was on TV - and a friend working in the video truck tipped off the announcers as to my name, and they said my name over the TV
• I appear in the Giants' 1986 documentary "A Tale of Two Cities" about the Giants history. I'm shown holding a sign with a "no 100" universal symbol on the last game of the '85 season when the Giants had 99 losses.
