Met Marvin Miller at the first and Joe Garagiola at the second. So much to learn about the game and its followers. My wife even enjoyed some of the presentations, appreciating the effort put forth by the researchers and the quality of the presentations.

Attended the games both times. First, in Cincy featured a catch by Edmonds. Second in St. Louis featured a tornado, followed by a blow out with the brewers. People came to the game with hand held computers to settle disputes or start them.

Most fun-looking at the various shirts and hats worn by the attendees. Not just MLB stuff. Upset always by the anti-Yankee comments, but you learn to live wit them.
