Oct 8 - 9th, 1974 playoffs between the Dodger and the Pirates. No big deal in the grand scheme of tickets, but for me it was. My buddy and I had mailed in to try and purchase tickets for the Dodger Bleachers for these games and were lucky enough to get them. This was less than a month after we started our freshman year in High School and we were wondering how we were going to convince our parents to let us go. Well, the stars were aligned just right because that year, it turns out, another High School that had a major fire just a month before was going to share our campus and so we went on a half day/split schedule...leaving our afternoons free. My buddy and I were able to take the bus from neighboring Alhambra to Dodger Stadium and then my Mom was able to come pick us up after work. Stargell hit a homerun in both games and Garvey hit two (we came close to catching one of them) in the deciding game. Great memories.
