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 20, 2017 – Dodgers 3, Tigers 0 – Comerica Park (Detroit)


 
Attendance: 37,182
Game Time: 2:57
Weather: 80 degrees, sunny
Wind: 10 mph
Umpires: Home Plate - Adam Hamari, First Base - Chris Segal, Second Base - Bill Miller, Third Base - Todd Tichenor
 
Section 219, Row 5, Seats 3-5 – front row of upper section, just outside first base, good view, easy access to aisle
 
Home-team highlights – after walking the first batter of the game on 4 pitches, Tigers starter Michael Fulmer pitched effectively and well, blanking LA for 6 before giving up an unearned run in the seventh
 
Other – Dodgers scored single runs in each of the last 3 innings … Tigers managed only 4 hits, although they did load the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 3rd before Cabrera struck out
 
Ballpark notes – the lines for the Alan Trammell bobblehead giveaway weren’t as long as I expected … impressive cat sculptures at the main entrance and elsewhere, and a “Big Cat” food court with a carousel and several food stands … the “Detroit Coney Deep Dish Pizza” from Little Caesar’s was rated the weirdest food item in the park in a Sports Illustrated article, but it was actually quite good … didn’t seem to be as many people in the stands as the attendance figure suggested, although the lower concourse was quite crowded during the game
