Ask me to cover my Suns shirt — I think I’d rather leave

December 23, 1993.
Ken Kendrick’s controversial decision to force fans sitting in the most visible of all seats at Chase Field to cover their Dodgers gear with merchandise fresh from the D-backs Team Shop got me thinking about that date.
December 23, 1993.
On that day, a die-hard Suns fan living in Seattle went to a Suns/Sonics game at the old Key Arena, pulling for the team he had loved his entire life. He watched that team get 27 points (he had to look it up, he admits sheepishly) from Dan Majerle on 7-of-11 shooting from behind the three-point stripe. He was loving the fact that players he hated — guys like Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp and Detlef Schrempf — lost on their home floor.
And yes, I was wearing my Suns gear. The shirt I’m wearing in this photo as a matter of fact.
