I can remember going there when I was a kid.....dressed in my Little League uniform
We sat in the bleachers in Center field.....when they actually were bleachers. You could see right out to the bay and it was really cold when the wind would come up.......Bleacher seats were $1 in 1968. We could go down to the fence (Chain link in those days) and talk to the players when they were warming up....some were more friendly than others but I'll never forget Willie Mays would always come over and talk to the kids.....and usually throw his warm up ball over the fence after he was done......kids today just can't imagine getting that close to the players!! ....I also got a chance to see Willie Mays hit his 600th Home run there one day and still have the keychain they gave everyone that was there that day as a souvenir....a true piece of San Francisco history bites the dust!!
