I'd probably say all of the minor league games I used to go for the Twins affiliate team New Britain Rock Cats or as they're now known Hartford Yard Goats.
I never knew why but I always loved Torii Hunter and he wasn't even a good hitter for New Britain. I met him got his autograph. I saw a lot of ML players play:
Torii Hunter
Doug Mientkiewicz
Jaque Jones
Eric Milton
Alexis Rios - New Haven Ravens
Josh Beckett
Joe Mauer
David Ortiz
Jeff Bagwell - New Britain Red Sox
Lew Ford
and probably a whole lot more I've missed. But it was fun being a little kid and then seeing them go up to the majors after you just saw them play in person.
I've been to Camden and saw Frank Thomas go 2-4 with a HR when he was on Oakland.
Saw Yankees get destroyed by the Red Sox in the old Yankee Staidum
Saw Cubs vs Nationals at RFK
Red Sox vs Rockies the year they played each other in the WS.
Phillies at their new park
etc.
