I love that they held a concert called the Summer Rock n' Roll Grand Slam inside a dome, where there is no sun and there are no seasons.

(A good recording of the Stones' 1981 Kingdome show circulates, but it's a soundboard, so the acoustics of the building don't factor in.)

Re. Walter Johnson and the Amocats: People love to pump hot air into stories about themselves. Human nature, but so annoying from a history research point of view.

I use phrases like "Contemporary news accounts do not confirm this" so frequently that I should set up some sort of command on my keyboard that will automatically spit them out.

It IS always fun to find a cool baseball fan, lol. I love your stories and hope that you get to sit in on the next City Connects uniform committee.
