I grew up in San Antonio. Not a big baseball town. We have the San Antonio Missions, a AA baseball affiliate of the San Diego Padres. At last for now. Soon the Missions will be AAA and associated with the Milwaukee Brewers.
But between 1977 and 2000, the San Antonio Missions were a farm team for the Los Angeles Dodgers. And for the first first eleven seasons, they were the called the San Antonio Dodgers. That’s when I attended my first baseball games.
I wouldn’t make another baseball excursion during my childhood, but as an adult I moved Los Angeles and attended my first Major League Baseball games.
