Lived in KC when I was in second and third grade. My dad took me to several A's games at Municipal. You could walk up on a Sunday and get box seats behind the dugout. One of my biggest thrills there was seeing Roger Maris hit No. 53 during the year he chased the Babe. Stadium was full, and cheered him like we were at Yankee Stadium. The rabbit that came out of the ground to give umpires a new supply of baseballs was cool, too.
