San Diego, 1992. I was right next to the America's Cup and was able to get my picture taken with it. The America's Cup was on display in the America's Cup Museum set up on the waterfront in downtown San Diego. In addition to the cup were the models of previous cup boats from NYYC and lots of old videos and pictures. Cool stuff!
The CUP and I. The security guards are just out of the picture!
Been not quite as close when the cup was displayed in Seattle, back in the early 90's. Don't remember the exact year unfortunately. Was close enough to be able to read the inscriptions.
ReplyDeleteI got that close to a Heisman tropy, twice. Once at the Downtown Athletic Club and the other time at a pub in Wisconsin, where the owner kept his. Alan Ameche.
ReplyDeleteThis is much cooler!
Traveling for work gave me lots of oppurtunities I would never have had otherwise!
