I loved Mike and this is a great memory, but I also remember how bad I thought Dave O'Brien and Tom Seaver were, Tom was mailing it in

Future Met Pete Harnisch pitches to former Met Randy "Moose" Milligan at Camden Yards while Oriole Park gets built around them.



Longtime Oriole player and coach (and 1969 Met opponent) Elrod Hendricks doing the catching.

That is a very interesting picture. Basically, MLB players playing sandlot baseball in their future home while it is being built.

It appears to be late stage, 21st century, with the full range of neon characters on the exterior, plus it looks like they have one of the two murals that were painted on the end of the grandstands.



The "Baseball Is for Kids" program, advertised on the back of the scoreboard, arrived around the turn of the century too.

I was in the stands there somewhere but I couldn't quite pick me out, possibly because I had the same hat as Nancy but chose not to wear it that day.
