I’ve just received a marvelous invitation from a friend of mine … and I have to share it here.<\/p>\n

In a couple of weeks I am going to see my first Major League Baseball game in nearly 60 years.<\/em><\/p>\n

My friend called to tell me he purchased a couple of tickets for the Texas Rangers game in Arlington. We’ll meet before the game and head for the seats. The last MLB game I witnessed was in August 1964.<\/p>\n

It occurred at Candlestick Park. The San Francisco Giants played host to the Cincinnati Reds. It featured three future Hall of Famers, two of whom played that game; the third one, Willie Mays of the Giants, sat it out.<\/p>\n

But the two H of F’ers who did suit up delivered big time. Willie McCovey of the Giants hit a home run into the SF Bay cove that now bears his name. Frank Robinson of the Reds hit a couple of dingers out that day. The Reds won 7-1.<\/p>\n

I want to thank my friend profusely for inviting me to this game.<\/p>\n

I have heard plenty about the Rangers’ new ballpark. My son and I attended a Sir Paul McCartney concert in the “old” ballpark in the summer of 2019 and to be honest, I do not quite understand why they had to build a new ballpark, because the old park looked pretty nice to me.<\/p>\n

Whatever … I’ll be like a kid again when the Rangers take the field.<\/p>\n
