arrive 4/23 I think, come back Sunday 4/28 if I recall. Can you bring the lemonade ?

let me know if you're actually in the city, especially if you go play pinball or if you want a free lunch during the week.

Did we have a minimum number of appearance per season to be an eligible year, I don't think so right? We kept that simple I believe.

I don't remember. I should have documentation on my old computer. Will dig it up when I get a chance. Maybe Monday.

I'm an engineer, of course I'm down for a free lunch. Don't have details yet, but really would like to meet up.

[Kevin Seitzer]

Maybe over a game of pinball ? It's popular with the VD crowd

I sucked at pinball as a teenager. Haven't played since. May be deeply scarred by my inadequacy.

I've heard that deaf, dumb blind kids can even do it ??? Very strange

[Kevin Seitzer]

Ken, you said something about working at Bb-Ref being a dream job. If that's a serious interest, I know Sean Forman and would be happy to recommend you.

Deaf, maybe blind, lacking fingers? Probably.

looks like the Yankees are in town that weekend. Are giants tickets reasonable or do they sell out and cost a bajillion dollars ?

this reminded me of my trip to Candlestick....Juan Samuel hit two homers. Sat right behind the Phillies bullpen and listened to Darren Daulton all night. Really cold though

I'm going to guess those games sell out.

yeah, that's what I was thinking. Damn Yankees. Plus it's April while optimism still lives. Actually have no idea what the Giants look like this year.

I went to two games at Candlestick when I lived in Fremont. One was incredibly cold, and I don't remember much else about it other than that we sat in the LF stands behind Barry Bonds. But the second game it was sunny and we sat in the bleachers in RF and watched Greg Maddux pitch five no-hit innings to start the game.

The good thing about having a crappy team is you can get cheap tickets. I paid 10 bucks and sat 10 rows behind home plate a few years ago to watch Johann Santana in his prime. It would be nice if the Mariners were competitive again though.

elo test ha ha

Heye, if we get there when it opens we can play for 10 hours for 20 bucks. Actually I have only played like 5 games of pinball in the last 30 years or so. But it would be fun

Back in college I could play for 3 hours on a dollar and leave 6 free games on the machine for whoever came along after me.
