I was 10 yrs old running after batting practice homeruns in the LF bleachers of this stadium. Fascinated by the woahs & ahhs of the crowd when they were hit.......
I told my dad that night I’m going to hit one completely out of this stadium so I can see their reaction. He laughed & said now that would be something. I said you WATCH!
I hit 4 over the fence little league homers in my life at this point.

3 people had ever hit it out of this stadium & I have 4 homers so I’ll be the 4th was probably my logic

Kids say some wild things but I was dead serious. I thought about it everytime I’d go there after that.

Over the years, being boo’d for HR’s in all opposing parks but especially LA always sparks a bursts of unique memories because it reminds me of the opposing hitters my pops would take me to see & want me to be like, as they would get boo’d rounding the bases as well.
So since I didn’t see it land & i heard a buzz of cheering, I peaked to see if the ball got thrown back which usually sparks cheers. Then the realization Came around 3rd base of what I might’ve just done. I couldn’t believe it, just put my head down with that memory replaying
in my mind, could barely jog straight.
I got that crowd reaction 15 years in the making, & My pops was there to WATCH!
I went straight to him after the game & we just started laughing!

So I hope there were friends , families, parent & child bonds that were there to enjoy that or any baseball experience as well!
Just an awesome moment in my timeline. & thinking about possibly playing with no fans for a bit makes me appreciate this even more.
