Sock day at Dodger Stadium, 30 year later
The 1985 Dodgers media guide
It was 30 years ago today that I attended a baseball game at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers beat the Mets, 7-6. It wasn't the first game I even attended, but it was the first one I remember the details of attending, so today ranks as a special anniversary of sorts for me.
I was nine years old in 1985, in my first full season of following baseball as a passion. Prior to that, it was just sort of something that happened in the background. There were a few other games I attended, including one in 1983 or 1984 where my main memory was of me and my cousin crying laughing over the idea that a toilet might explode any time a player would step on one of the bases.
