    ooo I was thinking about goin to the Bisons game tomorrow.

    I love going to them. Watch nice ball game with a hot dog and a big soda. Good stuff.

    Plus, your right, you get to see future stars of the MLB. I remeber when Coco Crisp was in the Dunn Tire Park outfield.

    Absolutly!!!! We have a AA team where we live and it is wonderful. We started out as the cubs in 1998 and now we are the mariners. There is a group of us that has been going for 11 years and we call ourselves "The Bullpen Bums". We have seen the likes of Carlos Zambrano, Prince Fielder, and Jason Giambi come up thru the ranks. I also met my son's father out there. His father played against Zambrano the year we met. Minor league baseball is the best thing ever invented!!! Because of Minor league baseball my son swears he is going to the "show" one day and he has the drive and the know how to be the only 7 yr old on a 10 yr old team.

    Oh, I love it!!!!! I live near Des Moines, where the AAA Iowa Cubs play. I go to several of their games every year. Players such as Greg Maddux and Carlos Zambrano have come through here. Kerry Wood has been here just in the last couple years for rehab stints.

    It's cool to watch great players at this level, and be able to say that you saw them play before they became "famous". Minor League Baseball is awesome!!!!!!

    I love minor league baseball. When I lived in NC I was a season ticket holder for the durham bulls (AAA Tampa) I saw so many great players come through there. Evan Longoria, BJ Upton, Carl Crawford.

    There's just something very.... old school, about minor league baseball. No $100 seats, no insane over the top antics, just good solid baseball.

    Oh man, the Bisons. Last time I was at Bison Stadium was like 3 years ago for Drums Along the Waterfront. I'm not much of a baseball fan, but they're good for the community so I support them. P.S. They playin in Buffalo or Syracuse? Buffalo's home and Syracuse is where I go and warp the minds of the little children :-D

    Yes, i enjoy it

    I went to my first game last year, Low Class A, Great Lake Loons versus the Beloit Snappers at Beloit

    It was a lot of fun, the atmosphere was great, and i got like 25 of the players' autograph on a baseball

    Oh my yes. I used to live in Missoula and watched the Ospreys a lot. The minor leaguers put on a good game and the stadium, at least in Montana, sure does, too. In some ways it is superior to the majors. (Well, for instance, you can afford to see more than 2 games a year.)

    We did when the Norfolk Tides were affiliated with the NY Mets,went to alot of games.

    My son has an entire shelf of autographed baseballs of guys who are up there today.But his favorite was when guys in the majors came down to rehab,we went to every game one year when Mike Piazza got hurt,he insisted we go extra early & as soon as the gates opened he was off running.He got about 3 autographs per game balls, hats,cards,programs,jerserys etc.Mike was extreamly friendly to the kids & would chat with them for a while.

    And I got to meet & get autographs from alot of the '86 Mets

    Yes. I saw Adam Wainwright pitch at Myrtle Beach when he was in the Braves organization. Plus minor league games are more fan friendly

  • 1 decade ago

    I enjoy going to minor league games. The ballplayers enjoy the fans and are welcome to autographs. The fielding may not be as crisp, but the price is right. Most parks are small and you are close to the action. I try to see the games as often as I can and it is great for young kids to be up close and personal.
