My favorite regular season home run. Robin Ventura hits a walk off grand slam off of Goose Gossage. We were sitting near the top of the upper deck, in seats that don’t even exist anymore, on the other side of the foul pole. Good times.

2011 Halfway Point
A disappointing first half of the baseball season came to an end (a few weeks back). Hopes of a pennant chase have thus far been thwarted by an anemic offense that is threatening to break some long held records, and not the good kind.

All Time Records (through 2010)
Now that the 2010 season has come to an end, let’s take a look at team’s overall records in games I have personally attended over my entire life. Every game I can remember or have tracked down is included, even the postseason. Teams that move (Expos/Nationals), change “city” names (California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels) or change team names (Devil Rays/Rays) are split out per incarnation.
