My take on the Padres as a 12 year old in 1997


Visited Mom this week and found some memories. Ended up going to the 1998 playoff sweep game of the braves before we got decimated by the Yankees

  1. That was really cool to read. Why did you dislike Greg Vaughn so much? That dude could hit dingers.

  2. That is my birthday, I was a sophomore in high school, how dare you make me have memories from 27 years ago!

  3. I would have been 9 at the time and I loved Steve Findley too. I had a Ricky glove and a signed Greg Vaughn ball. This letter hit home.

  4. Tony Gwynn. Ken Caminiti. Chris Gomez. Quilvio Veras. Wally Joyner. Greg Vaughn. Steve Finley. El Chamo Carlos Hernandez. Trevor Hoffman. Kevin Brown. Andy Ashby. Sterling Hitchcock. Mark Langston. Ruben Rivera (I think?). All etched in my core memories of a little Tijuana boy. Great times. Was there at that fkn 4th game. Still great memories.

  5. I’m surprised the lead is still legible. I guess they don’t stuff like they used to anymore
