As a kid in Tucson AZ, I listened to Vin Scully doing Dodger games almost every night. My first major league game was at Dodger Stadium in 1974 (I was 12). The event lived up to all expectations -- the beautiful stadium, a constant buzz among the sell out crowd at Chavez Ravine, vendors tossing me my purchses from many rows away, and Jimmy Wynn ("The Toy Cannon") leadfing off the bottom of the 9th with a game-winning home run to centerfield. I still have the scorecard!I didn't go to my first major league game until I was 19, I think. It was at Camden Yards, Baltimore. I had a good time, it was fun.

It was 1971 and the Yankees were playing the Baltimore Orioles. I remember receiving a post card of Horace Clarke at the gate and Horace Clarke immediately became my favorite ball player.
Why can't I like the Mets and the Yankees? Am I the only one that does?

I went to my first game last summer for my 26th birthday. We saw the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks in AZ. It was better than I expected. We had nice seats down the third base line. I had wanted to go to a MLB game since I was a kid, but my family was always too poor to go. Thank God for in-laws! Next stop: Fenway!First game in 1999.Mets vs Braves.Mets won 9-1.Al Leiter pitched and got 11 strikeouts. Chipper Jones cored the only brave run.
Who will ever bat .400 or win 30 games again?
1984 in june i think. it was tigers vs the o's at the old tiger stadium. i miss that place. walking up to it was an experience alone. no big parking lots. just a stadium on a street corner. street vendors roaming around selling peanuts and t shirts. the tigers were off to one of the best starts in baseball history, which i really didn't understand at 4 years old. i was wearing my tigers t shirt jersey with jack morris' name on it with baseball pants and tennis shoes. my mit on my left hand was ready to catch any ball that came my way.i don't remember who one, i just remember the park mostly. the beautiful blue interior. the poles everywhere blockin the views, but still beautiful at the same time.
i was there with my dad, my buddy and his dad. i don't think there has ever been or will there ever be a greater way for a father/son to bond than at a baseball park.
Who won the first AL Triple Crown?
Yeah. It was July 22, 1993. The Yankees beat the California Angels 12-1 at Yankee Stadium. Don Mattingly hit career home run number 200 and the one-arm pitcher Jim Abbot pitched a complete game.What team from what year do you think was the bestest team in MLB history?
yeah. braves vs. expos at turner field. braves beat them 9-0. so, the game was boring. but it was a cool experience.The SCOREBOARD in My Yahoo does not post the team I selected (Chicago White Sox). How can I fix it?
No, it was a Mets game when i was real little. But i remember my first Yanks game which was when i was eight years old, back in '98. Yanks won 4-3 in 11innings against Tampa. Chuck Knoblauch led the game off with a homer in the first. Then the game ended with a walk off in the 11th but i don't remember wh hit it. It was magical!i don't think i could ask to be at a better game. it was david cone's perfect game.
You didn't specify major league.
We were all visiting my paternal grandparents, and my grandfather decided to pack my father, one of my sisters and myself into a car and take us to an old Maple Leafs game - the International League Maple Leafs. This was well over 40 years ago. I didn't expect to be going anywhere, so it couldn't meet or not meet my expectations.
I found out many years later that my grandfather had used baseball as an entree into life in North America, and that as a HS junior and senior, he played second base and was the captain of his HS team, which in both of those years also won the city championship. And that my father has played 3B for his HS team.
Maple Leaf stadium is long gone, but that diamond is still there, with a small clubhouse.
