#367---LA @ CLE, 3/13/1999

 


This was a fairly mundane exhibition, with the Dodgers tallying five runs in the last three frames to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 7-4 victory. But one of the charming things about the slower pace of spring baseball is illustrated by the note at the top of the sheet “Uncle Rick at game says Tom”. The Tom in question is Indians play-by-play announcer Tom Hamilton; my uncle, a Florida native, left a note with him to say hi to the family back in Cleveland. Of course, I was listening to the game to hear it because what else would I be doing on a Saturday afternoon in March when baseball is available?
