I think RFK/DC Stadium was the best of the modern dual-purpose stadiums. Compare to Oakland or the defunct Cincinatti and Philadelphia places. Or Shea, come to think of it.
Even a good soccer stadium...the fans bouncing in the metal roll-in seats, mid-field or left-center depending on your point of view. I admire the DC United fans who never sit down...
Somewhere, Clark Griffith is playing cards, saying to Bucky Harris, "This Strassburg kid isn't Mr. Walter Johnson, but he'll do", and Harris has said that Bryce Harper is going to hit like Sam Rice and Goose Goslin put together.
Getting closer and closer.
