Significant players and games you have seen - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Thanks to http://retrosheet.org/, I have been able to find box scores of all the baseball games I have been to. It turns out I have seen a lot of famous players. If a player didn't do too well in a game, I only put his name. (Hey, it rhymes) Padres players will be in black text while opposing team players are in their respectable colors (i.e. red for Cincinnati Reds players) If you can't read it, highlight it.

Here are what the stats mean:

2B = double
3B = triple
HR = home run
SB = stolen base
W = win
SV = save
K = strikeout
BS = blown save
L = loss
H = hit

5/10/1994 (Reds 5, Padres 0)
Barry Larkin: 2-5, 2B, 3B
Kevin Mitchell (1989 NL MVP): 1-2 HR
Tony Fernandez
Bret Boone
Jose Rijo (1990 World Series MVP): 7 IP, 4 K, W
Tony Gwynn
Mark Davis (1989 NL Cy Young Award winner)
Trevor Hoffman

8/26/1996 (Phillies 7, Padres 4)
Scott Rolen: 2-4, 2B, RBI
Rickey Henderson: 1-3, SB
Tony Gwynn
John Flaherty: Ejected by the home plate umpire for excessive arguing and foul language following a play at the plate that went in favor of the Phillies.

8/12/1997 (Padres 6, Expos 4)
Vladimir Guerrero
Rickey Henderson: 3-5, HR
Greg Vaughn
Trevor Hoffman: SV

7/23/1998 (Padres 3, Diamondbacks 0)

Umpire Tom Hallion was suspended 3 games by the NL for bumping CO catcher Jeff Reed in apparent anger, which is believed to be the first suspension given to an umpire. In protest, claiming that the league shouldn't be allowed to suspend umpires, numerous umpires announced they would resign on September 1 that same year.

7/10/1999 (Padres 5, Rangers 4)
Ivan Rodriguez (2003 NLCS MVP)
Rusty Greer: 2-4
Juan Gonzalez (1996 and 1998 AL MVP): HR
Rafael Palmeiro: 2-4, HR
John Wetteland (1996 World Series MVP): BS, L
One thing I will always remember about this game is an incident between Gonzalez and a fan. The Rangers' bullpen catcher wrote on a baseball, "Here's your ****ing ball, Redneck" (Rusty Greer's nickname) and intended to give it to Greer. But Gonzalez, unaware of what was written on it, threw it into the right-field stands for the fans, which was about 20 rows down from where I was sitting. The Rangers later apologized and sent the fan a baseball autographed by Gonzalez.

7/20/1999 (Padres 2, Angels 1)
Darrin Erstad: 2-4, leadoff HR
Mo Vaughn (1995 AL MVP)
Chuck Finley: 7.2 IP, 6 K

The Padres took the lead when Angels reliever Mark Petkovsek's fake throw to third and first slipped out of his hand, allowing a Padres baserunner to score from third. The game was also at Edison Field and not at Qualcomm Stadium.

Boston SP Frank Castillo was ejected. It started when a balk was called, advancing a runner to 2nd base. When the run scored on a double, Castillo, furious that the balk led to the tying run being scored and blaming umpire Bill Welke, rushed to the umpire and spiked his foot in a rage and was tossed. He had to be restrained by several teammates. He was later suspended six games and fined an undisclosed amount for his actions.
