I guess it depends on the child, and how much they like baseball.
My son is 3 1/2 now - we took him to 2 regular season games and 1 playoff game last year. He didn’t cry once nor did he complain. I’m not sure if he’ll remember his first game, but Cano signed his ticket so he has something to remember it by. Kids 3 and under, so it is a great opportunity to expose them to the game.
The one thing I would say is to consider where you sit. I certainly wouldn’t take my child to watch a game in the Bleachers.. we sat a few rows above the Legends seating for each game.
My son is already a die-hard fan - knows all the Yankees from last year (even guys like Jayson Nix and Chris Stewart). He even loved the little museum they have in the stadium, as he knows who Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford are.
To me - it’s not so much about him remembering what happened in the game, but the overall experience of spending time with you that matters most.
