Site of first game ever attended, 9-6-80 vs. Cincinnati Reds - scheduled doubleheader, saw game 1 and about half of game 2. Attended the game on 9-8-85 with fellow Geek Kevin (RIP) and Rick, also vs the Cincinnati Reds - the game in which Pete Rose tied the all-time record of Ty Cobb of 4,191 hits. However, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer in 2015:

"Because record keeping in baseball in the early part of the 20th century wasn't up to today's standards, the American League erroneously double-counted a two-hit game by Cobb in 1910.
