Days That Used To Be

Today I went to watch our High School, Grossmont, play a scrimmage baseball game. The weather was beautiful, a warm winter's day of 83 degrees. It just doesn't get much nicer. Any ways when I arrived at the facility I remembered it had been 28 years ago when I was playing on the same field as an All-Star for the "City / County" annual All-Star game.

Cunningham Stadium, the home of University of San Diego baseball, is one of the nation's most beautiful collegiate ballparks.


Situated in a natural amphitheater, Cunningham stadium is one of the coziest venues on the west coast. Just beyond the right field wall, the Douglas F. Manchester Residence Hall overlooks the picturesque home of the Toreros, creating an imposing view for left-handed hitters.

What makes this such a nice stadium is the amphitheatre style setting. I can vividly remember all my family being there along with my girlfriends whole family sitting in the stands cheering.

As I struggled to climb the stairs as I left, I laughed to myself, 28 years ago I could do so much more!
