"I saw Koufax strike out 18 in a game at the Coliseum in 1959 when I was a kid."

Then you should be among a fairly small group who remember what a "moonshot" was.

Yep, Wally Moon's pop flies over the high screen in short left field. My mom was a big fan and I got to see a lot of games in both the Coliseum and the then-new Dodger Stadium. My great aunt & uncle would take me to games in the upper upper deck of Dodger Stadium--real nose-bleed seats. You paid to get in with a token--it cost $1!!
