4 Tickets $168 (all you can eat!)...$17 parking...several $8.25 beers.
Yelling "Run Rickey Run," one more time, at his request: priceless.
Arriving at 3PM (Gates open at 4:05), standing in line for an hour and a
half only to find they had NO giveaway shirts left ( our friends in the
bleacher seats all got shirts ) - pure BS. Lots of old players like Dave
Stewart were there, but no McGuire/Canseco.

When I got to the Coliseum at about 4:30 the line to gate D extended about
halfway across the parking lot. Someone went to look at the head of the
line and said the gate wasn't open yet. The line finally started to move at
about 4:50 - 45 minutes after the gates were supposed to open. Fortunately
we managed to get to our seats by the time the ceremony started.
