Tickets

I've always been pretty good about saving tickets, especially from sporting events, and I have a bulging folder in a file organizer full of those things. I was just straightening out the shelf upon which said organizer is located, and I started flipping through the mass of tickets, just for fun...
I remembered a lot of them, plenty looked unfamiliar (I went to a Vertical Horizon concert?), and two in particular stood out (though I definitely need to do a more thorough search sometime soon):
1) Sunday July 28, 1991...1:05 p.m...Dodger Stadium...Aisle 311, Row F, Seat 14 (I'm guessing Michael had seat 13 or 15) in the Left Field Pavilion...Dodgers vs. Expos...Dennis Martinez pitched a perfect game...fat Chris Gwynn flied out to end it...
2) Tuesday February 10, 1998...8:00 p.m...L.A. Memorial Coliseum...Section 8, Row 61, Seat 117...CONCACAF Gold Cup Semi-Final...USA vs. Brazil...Kasey Keller's legendary performance against Romario and company...Preki's SICK cut, cut, shot and goal to win the game...
I know I'm just scratching the surface, and there are plenty of gems left in there, so I suppose it'll be a nice rainy day activity someday...for now, perfect game and perfect goal make for a pretty good start...
