Summer of 98

My mother in law just moved to town and my wife was getting her settled in Saturday. Left me a day to watch a bunch of 30 for 30.

Watched the one on the home run chase between McGuire, Sosa and Griffey Jr. What fun summer that was waiting on the SC highlights. Hard to believe it has been 23 years since McGuire Sosa. Time flies!

Got to see McGwire’s #52 at Three Rivers in Pittsburgh. The ball, still rising, hit the 2nd deck facade and ricocheted half way back to the infield. And it was an oppo shot to right! I was sitting in the left/center field lower deck.

Lotta roids fueled that home run fest. But it was fun to watch. Times back then were so much easier.

Mike Lupica wrote a really good book about that summer of baseball. Well, it was a really good book until the truth of steroids came to light...

Meh? We were pretty good in 87 thanks to the roids. I’m fine with it.
