Candlestick had a free section for active duty service members -- lower deck outfield down the 1st base line -- and I saw a number of games with my buddy when I was stationed in Sacramento. I can confirm that the wind gusts there were really annoying. There was a constant tornado of hot dog wrappers and peanut bags in that section.
Don Wert was one of those guys from the 68 team that retired before I started watching baseball.
I really want the Tigers to win this more than most regular season games, because it seems like every kid there is pulling for the Yankees. I want those kids to go home disappointed.
