August 3 - Exciting Anaheim. I had been to Disneyland. I
had been to the beach. I did not get up early enough to drive to
Hollywood to Universal Studios and try to get back to Anaheim Stadium
in time for the game. So I slept and read in my room. Went to the
game. Since this was rescheduled from Seattle, all tickets were $6.
So all kinds of people that had never sat closer than the left field
foul pole were behind home plate. Anaheim Stadium had some damage
from the Northridge Quake. The big A behind the left field scoreboard
fell in on the stadium and destroyed the scoreboard. Most of the
season, the Angels had a relatively small large screen TV in the
lower deck in left field. The Angels were supposed to be on a three
week road trip starting with the All-Star Break, and the stadium
chose that time to install the new large screen TV in left field.
Since the game was rescheduled, however, they were still working on
it, and as a matter of fact, they were working on it during the game.
Seattle won the game 8-4, and they were in complete control the game
the whole time. During the game, everybody started flapping their
arms slowly. I asked my neighbor what was going on. It seems that
this was what Angels' fans did in the movie Angels on the Outfield.
Fun time at the last game on the trip.
Construction to repair damage to Anaheim Stadium from January earthquake.

It's been a long time. I had forgotten that Bo Jackson was once an Angel.
Ken Griffey gets a single and an RBI.
