Must see video on Derks Field when you get 20 minutes. I found this gem a few
months back. It was made by Glen Tucket's kid I assume, a Tucket anyway and Glen is interviewed all through it. Derks was magical. My first memories were walking in the dark dingy tunnels staring at the plastic MLB helmets for sale, no chance we could afford one. Would get tickets on the back of milk cartons. Ah the memories, breathing in copious amounts of cigarette and pipe smoke, mixed with a tinge of grilled burger smoke. Would always have a magical headache by the 7th inning. Caught the end of the triple A Gulls in the early 80's, then attended mostly rookie league Trapper games in my youth. Was there the night they broke the record on the 29 game win streak. In HS was fortunate to play on the field, and get into the locker rooms. Was surprised the outfield wall was pure cement or cinder block. Derks was a true treasure.
