runscottthat I'm going to the double-header today. My buddy has season tickets on the second row in the outfield...and last night he sold me a pair of World Series Tickets.
The strike REALLY turned me off, especially with Glavine being the player rep - when he left Atlanta I started going to games, and now with the 'rookie makeover', there is a lot more energy on the team and they are fun to watch.
Yes, I still go to games - here are my biggest thrills to witness:
1. Sitting behind the camera pit last year to see the Astros win their first play-off series
2. Nolan Ryan's 7th no-hitter
3. 1st game at Fenway - having a sausage outside the park and Tommy John pitched for the Yank-mes
4. 1st game at the Astrodome in 1968 - amazing the 1st time you see a baseball field indoors.
5. Andre Dawson hitting for the cycle at Wrigley
6. Cincinnati clinching the 1986 division at Cincinnati
7. Seeing Harold Baines' number retired at the old Comiskey
8. Freezing my ass off at Candlestick
