Did Fenway live up to the hype??

For me it did. I went back in 06 to several ballparks in the midwest / north east. Wrigley & Fenway just had a special feel to them. Obviously, they lacked a lot of newer amenities and space, but the uniqueness and history more than made it for it in my book. Both had fun atmospheres outside the stadium too. To give a comparison, Old Yankee and Shea both sucked. Shea felt like someone took a can opener to a worse version of the Astrodome. Yankee reminded me of college stadiums who had too many disjointed renovations. No special feel at all like the others.

ASTROS: Jeff Bagwell -- June 24, 1994 vs. Dodgers
In the midst of his MVP season, Bagwell went 4-for-5 with a club-record-tying three homers off three different pitchers in a 16-4 win over the Dodgers in the Astrodome. He's one of only four players in Astros history to have 13 total bases in one game, along with Morgan Ensberg (May 15, 2005), Lee May (June 21, 1973) and Joe Morgan (July 8 1965).

The three homers came in a span of three innings, including a pair of homers in a nine-run sixth in which Bagwell became the 28th player to homer twice in one inning. Bagwell hit a towering one-out, solo homer to left field off Ramon Martinez in the sixth, and later in that frame homered off Rudy Seanez, a three-shot into the Astros' bullpen in right. Bagwell's third homer came off lefty Brian Barnes in the eighth.

"It's my biggest night ever," Bagwell said after the game. "I mean, I hit three home runs in college, but what's that, against the University of Richmond? This is the big leagues."

Bagwell hit .368 with 39 homers and 116 RBIs in only 110 games that season, breaking his hand just before baseball went on strike. -- Brian McTaggart
