Your first ballgame?

[NAHSTE]

That pic of me and Tom Glavine got me thinking ... Pretty sure that was my first time ever at a ballpark, so I decided to look up the box score. All I remember is Damon Berryhill ending the game in extra innings with a walk-off HR (that my dad predicted moments before) ... I vaguely remembered this game involving the Astros, but per baseball reference it had to be this game vs the Crads on April 30, 1993:

They were great seats on the first base line (almost a straight line to first) and only about 3 or 4 rows back if I remember correctly. It wasn't the best of games to have been your first game, as the Twins were about 3 years away from being worth anything. It showed in the attendence, as both home runs in this game were hit to empty seats. I was however happy to have gotten to see Barry Larkin play as he had always been a fave of mine. Also getting to see Torii Hunter in his first full season in the majors was nice.

It was Yankees vs. Twins. Could have been any day from 1999-2002, I really don't remember.

I'm sure it was a Frederick Keys game.

First one ever was at Dodger Stadium. I don't remember it super clearly since I was less than 5 years old, but they are the same seats that my dad still gets today from his firm.

I know for sure that I was that little, because I remember going to Angel Stadium with my cub scout troop when I was in kindergarten - and I remember from back then that that game wasn't my first one. I got to walk the warning track with the other scouts and we sat up in the nosebleeds. The primary reason I can remember that not being my first pro game is because I recall a convo where we were so high in the stands and the stairs were steep that it was kinda scary for me and I had said something like "I liked the seats better at the Dodgers" (they are field level).

Outside of those two games, I don't remember many details outside of seeing guys like Mike Piazza, Hideo Nomo, Eric Karros, etc... Piazza was my favorite player, without a doubt.

The game I remember most vividly was from when I was in 6th grade: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/boxscore/04231999.shtml

My first ball game was a school trip to a Newark Bears game. Caught a foul ball with my face.

Remember that Nationals game I took you to? You got a t-shirt that had a week old hotdog wrapped inside of it.

Haha I was about to mention that as being my first actual MLB game.

Rangers at Safeco in 2001. It was Alex Rodriguez first game back against the Mariners, everyone was booing him and throwing Monopoly money.

A's game...probably little league day at the park. i remember mark mcgwire was batting and hit a hr. was probably around 1994 or so. I had to be around 5 or 6

[Warner2BruceTD]

This was easy to find because Jay Buhner hit a grand slam, and Rick Rhoden, a pitcher, started the game at DH and I remember my dad marking out for both events.

May or may not be my first game, because I remember seeing the Yankees play the Royals with Bud Black on the mound, but have no memory of any other events from the game. That could be a number of games from that era.

I was visiting my aunt in Cincinatti. The summer camp I was in went to a Red's game. I bird pooped on me in the 3rd inning LOL. That's all I remember.

I cant remember exactly what game it was but it was the last season at Memorial Stadium. I remember sitting on the concrete bleachers and my dad gave me his jacket to pad the seat. I also remember Mike Mussina being there but he didn't play.

I remember my first game being at Bank One Ballpark in the 1998 season. Not a clue who Arizona played against, some reason I want to say it was the Giants.
