The One Where ClintShane Does 30 Words On All 30 Teams

We were front row of the Loge, in the Astrodome. The seats were grey and, because I had never been to a real ballpark, I thought pretty close to the field. I had been in the stadium before for the rodeo, but never a baseball game. The entire spectacle was overwhelming. The turf stretched out over the floor immediately caught my attention. I remember thinking they must have cut holes in it to let the rodeo dirt through for the mound and bases. And the stands; they could move the stands to properly shape the field?? Unreal. When a bat met ball, the sound echoed off the roof and down the corridors.
