Two Grand Slams in one inning
One of the worst ideas I ever had was to get Dodger season tickets. Somehow I convinced myself that they would go to the World Series that year and I would get all of the money back. Of course, they never made it above third place. It was one of those awful teams with Dreifort, Karros, Mondesi, Todd Hundley, Ismael Valdez, just typing those names makes me queasy.
Anyway, Chan Ho Throw it in the Dark was pitching, and in the third inning of another meaningless game, he gave up two grand slams in one inning to the same batter—Fernando Tatis. On so many levels, this has got to be one of the most amazing things ever! Who stays in the game to give up two grand slams in the same inning to the same guy? Chan Doh! managed by Davey Johnson.

I was also at the game when he kicked this guy for no reason.
Boston Pedro!
I went to a 1999 game at Fenway Park. I sat right next to the Green Monster and saw Pedro Martinez lose to Tim Hudson of the A’s. The whole game a person sitting right behind me screamed the word “Pedro!!!” over and over again. The whole game-- “Pedro!!”...wait a few seconds.. “Pedro!!!” Pedro never answered him. It was weird.
Baroid at Dodger Stadium
The year that the greatest cheater ever slimed his way to the record books, he came to Dodger stadium with a chance to do it there. I bought seats right next to his left field position and witnessed some of the clever and lewd insults directed at him the whole game by the fans. It was great. They had so much hate for him.
Chargers games
Every year my friends and I get some tickets to a Charger game. We drive down there drinking copious amounts of beer, then we tailgate, and then we sneak as many beers into the game as we can. I can never remember what happens at the game. But I keep going back.
Angels playoffs 1979
Some rich neighbor had tickets to a key playoff game. I was 11 years old. The Angels first playoff appearance ever had the fans chanting “YES WE CAN!” so loudly in the last inning that the Orioles fell apart. The players admitted later that the noise of the fans had caused the outfielders to not be able to hear the bat which resulted in some key errors and the Angels won the game. The fans stayed after the game for an hour chanting. Then the next day the Angels lost the game and the series was over.
