Take me back

With the Baltimore Orioles' season over, MASN is showing some of the best games of past seasons. Tuesday, it was Game 1 of the 1970 World Series.
I was eight that year, so I remember that season. But watching it on TV again, it seems like a different world.
When a foul ball went into the left field stands, you could see fans in coats and ties there. On a Saturday afternoon.
The 1970 World Series was the last one where all games were played in the day time.
And Riverfront Stadium - what were they thinking?
As a sports writer, I got to meet and interview several players from that team when they visited the Orioles' farm team in Bluefield. It's good to see them in action again.
