 This was taken in 1953, shortly after the Braves moved in from Boston. The Braves stayed in Milwaukee until 1966. It was used again after the Seattle Pilots moved to Milwaukee days before the 1970 season, becoming the Brewers. The Brewers stayed there until Miller Park opened.

 This time it's Morocco qualifying. And possibly more to come. 17 spots occupied. 31 left.

 Uruguay, Colombia and Paraguay have qualified for next year world Cup. They all qualified last night.that is now 16 of 48 teams. (Wow 1/3 in).

 Al Gionfriddo of the Brooklyn Dodgers makes a great catch a few feet from the left field fence, denying Joe DiMaggio of at least a triple, or a possible inside the park Homer that could have tied the game. The play was in game 6 on October 5 1947. Brooklyn won 8-6, but the Yankees won the world series. It is a rare instance joe DiMaggio publically was upset. Here is a shot of inside Yankee Stadium.

 1. The summer free ride was won by James Nelson. He was the 25th person to pick a key and the key started the truck. Congratulations. 2. Now that I've seen Newfoundland and Labrador license plate, I only have Nunavut and Prince Edward Island as the last two Canadian license plates to see in person. 3. There are 5 weeks left in the 2025 season. 4. After Labor Day, summer makes its unofficial end. It officially ends later in September. That is all.

 ...it's almost the end of August. Have inning 9 of Ken Burns baseball documentary (1970-1992). The annual Beach Radio summer free ride giveaway was yesterday. That had started the May long weekend. Labor Day weekend is next weekend, and that has the CFL labor Day rivalry games (Winnipeg at Saskatchewan on August 31, Toronto at Hamilton and Edmonton at Calgary on September 1). Summer is almost over.

 Here are three Canadian provincial license plates I have yet to see in person. They are: Nunavut, Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island. I hear Nunavut is going back to the beat plates. (Here the are by the way).  Edit: seen Newfoundland and Labrador 

 Here is Shea Stadium under construction in 1963. It opened in 1964. The Mets played there from 1974-2008. The Jets (NFL) played there from 1964-1983, Yankees there in 1974-75 and the Giants in 1975. Jets and Giants moved to the Meadowlands, Yankees moved back to Yankee Stadium after renovations and the Mets moved to Citi Field for 2009.
