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.)

August 17, 2016 – Rockies 12, Nationals 10 – Coors Field


 
Attendance: 25,308
Game Time: 3:52
Weather: 85 degrees, sunny
Wind: 4 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Clint Fagan, First Base - Brian Gorman, Second Base - Quinn Wolcott, Third Base - Mark Carlson
Seventh-inning stretch song: Hey Baby – DJ Otzi
 
Section 236, Row 11, Seat 1 – club (2nd) level, looking down first base line, in the shade, more limited concessions selection than main concourse and not quite enough seating in the “club”, although the air conditioned refuge would have been great in rainy, hot, or freezing weather
 
Finally, a real Coors Field kind of game!
 
Highlights – Nats kept battling back from their 7-0 first inning deficit … two-run Harper homer in the fifth traveled 461 feet and made the score 9-6 … Pedro Severino and Chris Heisey also homered (the first of Severino’s major-league career) … Jayson Werth ran his consecutive game on-base streak to 45
 
Other – Strasburg was torched for 7 in the bottom of the first on a combination of walks and scorched line drives, and gave up 2 more before being lifted with two outs in the second … splurged on the carved turkey sandwich for $12.00 (OK, with a pickle and chips), and grabbed a Dollar Dog later
