1987 Tigers/Indians @ Tiger Stadium

Guy a few rows behind us caught a foul ball. Dad offered him $50 for the ball. The guy didn't sell.

I got to see my two favorite Tigers play (Trammell/Jack Morris) so I was happy.

Mine was May 21st, 2004. Me and my dad went to a Ranger game for my b-day. They were playing the Yankees. A-Rod homered in the first inning (2 or 3 run shot, I can't remember). It turned out to be a near slug-fest but the Rangers came out on top 12-9.

We tried to get seats near the front of the rightfield homerun porch but wound just a few rows from the back, so the seats weren't that good. Still a great game and a great experience for me.

I've never been to a ML game. Triple A, yah.

Norfolk Tides vs. Rochester

Don't remember what the Rochester team was called. Oh well, Tides won. I know that because I remember the fireworks at the end of the game. I know I got around 10 guys to sign my glove. But I don't know where that glove is. There could be famous people who signed that glove.

I went to this game back in 1997.

I've been to professional NBA/NFL games before. If that counts any.

my first game was a mets-pirates game back in 90 or 91. dont remember anything about it.

The first MLB game I remember going to was in the early 90s. Indians @ White Sox I believe. I couldn't see most of the game because I was small and had two very large adults in front of me. If I remember correctly, the game got called for rain despite it being a tie and having played more than 5 innings (that might not be right though, I was 5 or 6 at the time). They said something over the PA about being able to redeem your ticket for a seat to the next game, then they did fireworks.

Pitchers duel between Mike Mussina and Jimmy Key at Yankee Stadium, a Sunday Game. Mussina outdueled Key, but I don't remember the final, and I know I didn't stay the whole game. The first game I clearly remember was Paul O'Neill hitting his 3 HR's against the Angels. It was sometime between 1994-1996.

I don't remember who played, but when I was little, my parents took me up the old Milwaukee ballpark. I'll never forget when Milwaukee hit a homerun, they had a mascot jumped through a slide and into a jug of beer. It was pretty cool.

Yankee game in 93.. don't remember anything more then that.

[rockin500]

my first game was the brewers versus the white sox in 1987. brewers won 7-2. not too much of importance happened that i remember.

My first cubs game was opening day 1994 against the Mets. Tuffy Rhodes hit 3 homers that day, yet cubs still lost.

[Porter99]

Mine was when Griffey robbed Juan Gonzalez in the last weekend of the Kingdome.

1994- Marlins @ Pirates

Came in from Evansville when I lived there to see the game, and (I believe it was) John Wehner hit an inside the park homer and the Pirates won. I do remember David Weathers started the game for the Marlins.

[Providence A's]

1992 A's at Red Sox

Ron Darling threw a CG 4-hit shutout.

This is a page from a "create-a-book" type thing that the Red Sox offered at the time. You can click on it to see a bigger picture. My Dad customized it for me. It's red with a velvet cover and has the Red Sox logo on the front.

It just doesn't take into account the fact the someone attending a Sox game may NOT be a Red Sox fan. It has me saying things like "It doesn't really matter which team wins or loses. I just love watching the Red Sox play!" Thankfully, those words never did and never will come out of my mouth.

Nice. I just found mine on retrosheet!

My first game!
