I’ve never been a big fan of crowds, but the pictures in my previous post of people packed into the stadium almost makes me feel ill in these social distancing times. Quite the decade this month has been.

It’s Thursday, so that means it’s time for a throwback post. The next one in my queue was when the Padres and Mariners visited Portland’s PGE Park in 2002. Which is no longer a baseball field. And remember when people went to games in the Before Times? #ThrowbackThursday
