man, between this convo and the convo the other day you had with @dash about Al Oliver have me concerned. I've collected only 2 things since I was a kid (well, not counting bikes anyway, right @forty_three) and that's all my tickets stubs and wheat pennies. Well, the wheat pennies I always put in an old RC Cola can that was part of a MLB marketing scheme that had various players on it. This one had Al Oliver on it. My David Feeese foul ball was sitting on top on the cola can. they sat on my dress.
The goes something along these lines. A pirate scout or coach told Bonds at his first spring training camp he needs to stop pulling the ball or he will never make it in the majors. He harped on him he needs to learn to hit to all fields etc...
I'm not much of a racing fan, but an Indy car or NASCAR event would be cool just because.
I’ve been to Pocono and Michigan for cup races. Even if you’re not a racing fan it sure is something to see.
speaking of ads, they just showed the US Open is going to be at Torrey Pines in a couple of weeks. Good to know...I'll be sure to avoid La Jolla that weekend.
LOL...yeah the wife always wins.man, between this convo and the convo the other day you had with @dash about Al Oliver have me concerned.

well, we moved about 8-9 months ago. I was deployed, so the wife had to arrange everything by herself. Between your convo with dash and this one, I just realized my ticket stubs, Al Oliver can with wheat pennies and the foul ball are all missing. The wife is working the night shift currently. but when she gets home tomorrow morning, there's going to be a different kind of convo if she can't produce my stuff!
When she died and had to go clean out her house I found a ton of stuff from my brothers and nothing from me. They probably used all my stuff as kindling for starting fires. 
Same here and always thought the same it would be cool to just see. I was also told drag racing is fun to watch.
I drove past Pocono once and all I remember it was in the middle of nowhere.
I went to school with Torrey Pines. She got pregnant in 9th grade and left for a while. She came back the next year. One year she was my dialog partner in Spanish. Nice girl. Glad she is still around.
My favorite all time stadium is Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. I've been to High School football fields here in Ohio with better amenities. But damn I miss that place.
Places I have seen top level motorsport (Indycar, NASCAR, LeMans Series, F1)
Yeah, I wasn't much of a NASCAR fan, but worked somewhere that got tickets all the time. The two things that really don't get captured on TV is how vibrant the colors are an as silly as it sounds, how fucking fast they are going.
I have, though it's been a very long time (12 years maybe?) so I don't remember much about it, but remember it being nice, though it was only a year or two old I think, so no idea how well maintained. Remember concessions and tickets being super cheap, as you'd expect for Single A.
Yeah I agree Greenville is a cool downtown area. Been there a few times but never walked over the river towards the baseball field. Seems like they built it up around the ballpark since I been there.
Neither am I, really. Although I did watch the F1 show on Netflix, and it's made me a little more interested. I think I've only been to one race, but it was the Circuit of the Americas F1 in Austin (maybe 5 years ago?)
Stow me away in your luggage? You won't have to bring me back, just get me there.
