Downing, hmmm
Trying to remember him. Wasn’t he that guy with the funny looking batting stance where he looked like he was trying to show his gonads to the pitcher?
Also, I vaguely recall 2 or 3 home runs from the lead off spot.
Otherwise, it’s pretty fuzzy.
Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

I think he is the guy that gave up Henry Aaron's 715th homer

This is great news
The rapprochement w/ Downing is another sign that Arte has been classing up the joint. I really wish I could be there to applaud.

If you attend on the 7th...
you get this handy dandy towel (that I assume will have the likenesses of Chuckie and Brian in those blank spots when you receive it at the gate):
