August 15 1983. Detroit Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox.
My uncle Mark took me to a game, it was my 6th birthday. I spilled an ice cream bar all over myself and barely remember anything other than the beautiful interior of Tiger Stadium.'
It was also the only time I've ever been anywhere with uncle Mark.

1986. My grandparents took me and my brother to see the phillies play the dodgers.
I could not believe how BIG the vet was.

1972 St Louis Vs Atlanta...I was 6...Saw Hank Aaron go deep and during batting practice my dad go hit in the shoulder with a ball hit by Tim McCarver ....He and some others rushed up to my dad to see if he was alright and then they all signed the ball....a few minutes later Stan Musial came over as well and invited to dinner with him at his restaurant and we ate with him at his table after the game...Nothing has topped that yet

1982 my dad took me to a Eagles game vs the redskins. it was early in the year and I got in trouble because my knondike bar melted all over the place while I was eating it. My dad and his friends seats were on the "sun side" of the vet.

Phillies vs. Cubs at the Vet. I forget the year, but I was really young. My best guess would be either 1988 or 1989. My dad surprised me with the tickets. He told me the night before that we were going some place the next day but wouldn't tell me. That night I had a dream about going to a Phillies game and sure enough that's where we went.

I'm sure it was a Yankee game in 1978, but I have no idea when exactly. I have distinct memories of a particular game in June 1979, and I know I had been to at least two games before that because I remember it being unusual sitting on the first base side instead of the third base side where I've seen 90% of the games I've been to.

i was at a steeler game in the mid to late 70's. i dont remember much about it.
i have been to a few pirate games, but mostly Pen games.
the one baseball game i do vividly remember was against the mets, with daryl in town, and my cousin getting the chant DARE-OL going across the bridge and all the way into the three rivers stadium. then he started jermiah was a bullfrog...and much to my chagrin, everyone joined in to a rousing rendition of joy to the world.
my first hockey game i went to was against the nordiques, and i was pissed, cause no fight had broke out. 3 minutes left im yelling, kick his ass to no player in particular, and lo and behold, an old fashioned donnybrook breaks out.
afterwards, i got alot of autographs, jarg, zalapski, steven, recchi, coach badger bob, and ulf that i can recall. i then asked the nordiques GM why they have an elephant on their jerseys
One i do remember
1993 Rockies vs. Cubs at Wrigley Field. I remember seeing Ryan Sandburg and Mark Grace and then the best thing ever happened to me, Harry Carry singing Take me Out to the Ball Game. I remember i was like 3 or 4 and hyper-ventalating, to this day i swear Harry Carry looked at me and waved

A's vs Yankies game, probably in the 1970s, whenever Reggie Jackson was playing,...and Bucky Dent. My parents brought us along with some relatives for some reason.....
