    Cool pics! Those pleated dress trousers use to be really popular back then.

    Does anyone out there have a high resolution copy of the "Uh, Oh" poster? I attached a crummy version . . .

    Two takeaways:

    1. Even in 1991, Civic Stadium was an embarrassing dump.
    2. Why did they sell of the Coliseum scoreboard? That old one would still be vastly superior to the crap that's in there now.

    I'm not sure that Civic Stadium was ever NOT an embarrassing dump. The last remodel really saved it from needing to be blown up.

    Duckworth is skinny as hell in that one picture.

    Dump? Yes. Embarrassing? No. Minor league baseball should always be played in dumps.

    Are you talking about the big screen in the Rose Garden? Are you high?

    This quote, more than the clothing and hairstyles, provides historical context (i.e. dates) this article:

    "- Buck and Jerome will appear at the Clackamas Town Center Blazer Kiosk for an autograph session to promote the release of "To Hot to Stop It"? cassettes"

    That must be the last time in recorded (no pun intended) history that anyone promoted a cassette tape. I bought my first CD player in 1984 and had one in the dash of my 1990 Nissan pickup.

    Funny, now that's it's Jeld-Wen Field, fans and sports pundits consider it the best park in the MLS. I realize that's not saying much but
    there it is.

    Wow...you're like Glen Goolia or something. ;)

    We didn't have a lot of money growing up, but got my first CD in 1993.

    I didn't have much money growing up either. I bought my first CD player, a Yamaha CD-X1 for $500 in June of 1984 after I started working at IBM, my first real job.

    Hey, I just noticed that the photog for that shoot was Mike Lloyd, a once-upon-a-time professor of mine at PSU. He taught Computer Graphics (Quark), among other things. Back then he was an Oregonian wonderkind; the youngest head of photography ever . . .

    Doggystyle was the first CD I ever bought. I actually waited to get my rip city rhapsody tape signed.
