There Are Those Who Call Me Tim's Ticket Stubs

Wow, not much happened in this game on the field. The Padres won 6-3 behind a strong start from Andy Ashby. Greg Vaughn hit his first of 50 home runs that season, a Padres single-season record. To wrap things up, Trevor Hoffman notched his second save of 1998. We got the NASSCO seats for this game, but dad couldn't go. Our friend Mr. Bill Knight was in town, so he took me. The best part of the night was when I asked the camera guy below us to put us on the jumbotron. A few seconds later, there we were. I also remember on the way home, Bill's really crummy rental car could barely make it up the hill out of Mission Valley on the 163.
