Last Tuesday morning I was riding my bicycle around downtown San Diego trying to locate a 99-cent store in order to buy a quart of transmission fluid for my 1973 Oldsmobile Royale. After finding one on the corner of 7th & Broadway, I decided to pedal down to Petco Park (home of the Padres). I entered the "Park within the Park" area and checked out the view from the bleachers. I walked down one of the aisles until I reached field level and then I tried to locate the Padres' bullpen. As I walked in the direction of the bullpen, I came to a fence that had the batting practice cage behind. The reason that I mention this is because later that night during the Padres vs. Colorado Rockies game, Padre catcher, Mike Piazza, hit a towering home run over the center field fence. The ball landed exactly on the spot where I had been standing while checking out the batting cage only hours before! Coincidental? Yes, but it was a strange sensation, none-the-less!
