The last time I had anything to do with baseball was 1993..I was at an Indians game and Jim Thome hit 2 home runs in the game...don't even remember who was playing...I had taken my church pastor to the game...he had never been to a baseball game...he was younger than I was...nice guy...6 months later I was packing up my car and heading to Florida to live......we were in the outfield and one of the home runs was pretty close to us...still remember his face...like a kid that saw something for the first time...he left the ministry a year after I moved to Florida...his wife and 3 small kids couldn't survive financially so he went to the private sector...he moved to North Carolina and I never heard from him again...a couple months after I reached Clearwater..I was leasing an apartment and there were some minor league players from the Phillies living in the complex...these weren't the wealthy bonus players...they were trying to make it to the "bigs"...they would lease a 2 bedroom apartment and 6 players would sleep there...one advantage was a lot of baseball groupies would come to the pool...awesome looking 18 to 20 year old girls...I would go to the minor league games and sit out in the outfield and drink beer...when the Major League Phillies would come for Spring Training...I would go to a couple of games..you wouldn't believe how many Philly fans came to Clearwater for Spring Training...local restaurants would put Philly flags in the windows...

would an audio version be better?

No. An audio/video presentation just drags it out longer in real time. Give me Sears Robuck catalog I can thumb through at my own pace. Do you post there?

Enjoy your game. A Lifetime memory

My bucket list is to see an event at Wembley. Preferably a rock concert

Thank you
Never seen a rock show at Wembley
But I have seen many at Wembley Arena.
