I taped it that day (along with the entire baseball game, if I recall correctly.) [We may have already had this conversation, back when you posted the Mike Rogodzinski card.]<br /><br /><br />I was at the first Saturday game at the Bank, and took a picture of the Veterans Stadium Rock Pile (to steal a name from the Wilmington Blue Rocks) beyond the scoreboard.Jim from Downingtownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01537007940455183397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-13851835093256945602013-03-04T10:44:12.035-05:002013-03-04T10:44:12.035-05:00Oh yeah, and I also meant to add, remember when ro...Oh yeah, and I also meant to add, remember when rookie cards were valuable? I guess they still are, but not the ones in the Topps base sets anymore. I see the Hamels rookie can be had for a Buy It Now price on eBay for 99 cents, and a 15-card lot of the Utley one sold for $9.99, so about 66 cents each.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-24998842240929557912013-03-04T10:41:45.600-05:002013-03-04T10:41:45.600-05:00You were lucky to have been there for the Millwood...You were lucky to have been there for the Millwood no-hitter. I was lucky in a way, as I was living in the Bay Area and the game was against the Giants, so I was watching it live on TV (with a friend who is a huge Giants fan, by the way).<br /><br />There was something funky going on with the video contrast on the broadcast that day. It was dialed up too high or something so that the Phillies uniforms looked bizarrely bright, like a "transfiguration" on the diamond. I don't know what the cause was, but we really noticed it watching it live, and you can see it here as well (although it's not quite as bright as I recall it):<br /><br />http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=7681831&topic_id=0&c_id=phi<br /><br />Anyway, I was at the Mulholland no-hitter in 1990, so it is great to get lucky like that and to be there when lightning strikes.Steve F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00753488569249068229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433941530167569659.post-59306061262076554832013-03-03T09:23:06.989-05:002013-03-03T09:23:06.989-05:00Great pictures!Great pictures!Section 36https://www.blogger.com/profile/18194098940017348361noreply@blogger.com
