I too, have many great memories of Silver Stadium...to add to yours, the annual Oriole exhibition game, which was a highlight of the summer, bat day, helmet night, and others.  Saw many great players come up and I remain an Oriole fan to this day.  Al Bumbry, Mike Flanagan, Bobby Grich, Don Baylor, Dennis Martinez, Mike Mussina, and like you mention, Cal, who spent the 1981 strike season playing at Silver.  Silver was a special place indeed. 

 

i grew up in Rochester, and was a paper boy for the D&C. They had this newspaper boy day, where all the kids got to run the bases at Silver Stadium and get autographs. During one of those days, I got an autograph of this young unknown player named Curt Schilling!

I grew up in Hamburg, and went to an AHL BISONS game vs the Hershey Bears in Buffalo about 1969. 

I moved to Rochester and went to Red Wing games, but no one else wants to go anymore, so I drifted away from the Americans and the Sabres. 

 

I mostly watch the Stanley Cup finals.


maybe this was just my experience, but growing up in Rochester when I did (80s), no one really followed the sabres. You’d go to a few amerks games, but that’s about it.
