1978 WS....game 4 at yankee stadium.

I was 9...I caught a foul ball off the bat of Reggie Smith. I was watching it on youtube last night and I think I found the pitch/foul I caught!!!

[Danny Smith]

Game 6 2011 Cards vs. Rangers. As was mentioned earlier arguably the greatest game ever. Amazing experience.

1995 & 1997 Jacobs Field.

[dealme]

2002 Game 6
2004 Game 4
2013 Game 4

The two Sox games were a blast (especially since they won), and the 2002 game was simply a great baseball game.

Game 5, Shea Stadium 2015....with a friend that was a Kansas City fan.

Games 3 and 4 of the series last year. Someone offered me a ticket to game 5, but I decided I needed to watch in the privacy of my own home. I was right.

Pete, wasn't that the Reggie "hip and run" game?

I went to games 3,4 and 5 in Oakland in 1974. I had just graduated high school, and with nothing better to do I took a Greyhound from Phoenix to Oakland.I had bought the tickets in advance, because in those days they didn't sell out. I was (and still am) a Cubs fan, but I wanted to see a World Series.

I had a ticket in the lower deck looking down the 1st base line. I had a perfect view when Bill Buckner singled to lead off the 8th. The ball got past Billy North in right-center. Buckner took second and tried for third, but Reggie and Dick Green threw him out.I can still remember Green taking that relay while I thought "no way can they get him." But he made a perfect throw, and saved the game.

Having grown up on NY and subsequently LA, there was never a chance I could have attended a WS game (I was young and my Dad wasn't really a baseball fan). Later, I moved myself to the Bay Area. When the A's made it to the Series I still had that mentality. I kicked myself in the tush when I later found out I could have walked up to the gate on the day of a game and gotten a ticket. Still haven't been to a WS game, although several playoff games.

Great stories everyone. I can claim to have attended a World Series ticket line, and having used my credit card to purchase tickets.

In 1998 when the Padres made the World Series I took off work to stand in line at Jack Murphy Stadium to buy tickets for a group of friends. By the time I got to the window they only had multiple seats together for game 5. They did have individual tickets for game 3. I decided against buying the game 3 ticket for myself, and purchased the group of game 5 tickets.

I am proud to say I received a full refund. However, that might have been my only shot at attending a World Series. I will probably have to settle for the glorious distinction of having purchased World Series tickets.
