I got to go to Ebbets Field once in Brooklyn when I was a really little kid. I was in second or third grade. All I remember was that it was an afternoon double-header with the St. Louis Cardinals. We sat in the Mezzanine section, and the paid attendance that day was very, very low. We practically had the place to ourselves. The reason we went there was that our cousins came in for a visit from California and wanted to go to a Brooklyn Dodger game. It was, by the way, the last year the Dodgers were in Brooklyn before relocating to Los Angeles.

I don't even remember who won the games. (I was only like seven or eight years old) and don't remember all that much.
