Oriole Park (Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD - 2003)

 
What a perfect night for such an event!  The weather was perfect--low 70's with a slight breeze.  It was September, that time of year when the magic of baseball comes to life.

Sitting there listening to one of the game's kindest and most respected men stumble past the part of his speech where he remembered his late father while music from the Field Of Dreams soundtrack played softly in the background was enough to make your eyes well up with tears.

What a fantastic career; what a great man; what a night for everything baseball has to offer.
