I had the privilege to walk on that field. I was a little league coach back then and the entire league was welcomed to the stadium. We cam through center field wall to 3rd base line, walked to 3rd and to home plate, then to first base out to foul pole and back through center field wall.
The kids were really excited because when we were close to dugout the were within feet of several players like Ken Griffey Jr. they were yelling hi to player and player waved hi back. Glad they had a good time. One thing I didn’t like was the field. It felt like walking on a wrestling Mat. Felt spongy. No wonder that type of field was done away with.
