As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

April 16, 2017 – Nationals 6, Phillies 4 – Nationals Park


 
Attendance: 29,774
Game Time: 3:11
Weather: 84 degrees, partly cloudy
Wind: 15 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Greg Gibson, First Base - Jerry Layne, Second Base - Dan Bellino, Third Base - Mike Estabrook
 
Notes – classic ending, as Harper erased Philadelphia’s one-run lead with two outs and two on in the ninth with his fourth career walk-off HR … Phils second-baseman Cesar Hernandez led off the game with a homer for the second time this season … Nats tied things up quickly in the bottom of the inning on doubles by Eaton and Rendon, and took the lead in the third when with two outs Rendon beat out an infield single and Harper hit the next pitch out of the park … Gio held the Phils down until the 8th, when they tied it up in an inning featuring 3 singles, a Jayson Werth error in left field and a Koda Glover wild pitch … bullpen problems continued in the 9th, when Aaron Altherr doubled off Treinen and subsequently scored on two infield grounders … 10:30 departure from Rockville met with relatively light traffic, a good parking spot, and still-available autograph vouchers … had shade in our regular seats for almost the entire game, nice on an unusually hot April day … the Easter Bunny shed his nice-guy image with a vicious take-down of Teddy during the Presidents Race
