It took nearly 34 years, but I finally framed all my ticket stubs from 1990. 73 games attended in total, up from 43 in 1989 (including two unused NLCS tickets and three unused World Series tickets). There wasn’t much to celebrate that year, although Dunston made the All-Star Game as a coach’s (Zimmer) selection and we were fortunate to get four 2nd row seats in the center field bleachers (which allowed for nine innings of harassing Lenny Dykstra in center field). Opening Day was pushed back a week due to the MLB lockout, but that delay still didn’t prevent a cold, wet, blistery opener with only 7,791 fans. And on this “The Ryne Sandberg Game” 40th Anniversary, Ryne had his only 40-HR season that year. Sandberg & Dawson both drove in 100.

Oddly, I attended six of the nine games the Cubs played the Phillies – in Philly. The first Philly road trip was timed with the original SHAWON-O-METER being delivered to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. The final three games of the year, in Philly, were rescheduled from the first three games of the season, lockout rescheduled games. The three games in NY against the Mets were originally the final three games of the season, and that Mets/Phillies road trip was timed with the delivery of SHAWON-O-METER #2 to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY. I also had the pleasure of meeting Shawon and his parents outside Shea Stadium after one of the games.
