The very first baseball game I ever went to was at the Metrodome in Minneapolis in August of 1988. The Twins played the Cleveland Indians, and the Twins won by a score of 10-4. Julio Franco, who's now 48 years old, was starting at second base for Cleveland that night, and even hit a home run. (I will never forget this because there was this really drunk guy behind us, who kept yelling "Boo-lio!" every time Franco came to bat.) So, Julio Franco played in the first baseball game I ever went to, and one of the most recent. He's kind of like the Alpha and the Omega, from my perspective, in that way.
