Remember when baseball and soccer didn't get along?

They both felt fully American tonight here in Seattle.

Gotta say, even though this is being put on top of the existing surface, this is pretty extensive and I’m inclined to believe it will behave like a real grass pitch.

The year is 1998. You hit your local Tower Records store and buy a copy of Yield from the cardboard display. You get home, peel off the plastic, and press play for the first time. Life is good.

Cheers to 28 years of Yield, and to Kevin Shuss for keeping this in the archives!
