OT: My 1st MLB game....how about yours?

[clydepepper]

My first in-person ML game was Opening Day 1966: Braves vs. Pirates when I was ten and my cousin, Whitlow Wyatt, was the Braves first pitching coach.

I honestly do not remember much, but I do remember him helping me down to the dugout and giving me an autographed team ball (Aaron, Niekro, Torre, etc.).

I wish I had been able to appreciate who I was seeing play- Aaron, Clemente, Stargell, etc.

The family group I was with consisted of three women and my brother (who was not interested) and me.

Us 'guys' got sleepy before the ninth inning and left.

We stayed in Atlanta overnight and I remember seeing in the newspaper that the game had gone to 13 innings and they had lost.

The game was tied going to the 13th, Pittsburgh scored twice in the top, and Torre hit his second homer in the bottom, but it was solo.
