What was your first baseball game as a kid?

Mine was in 1961. Red Sox vs Yankees at Fenway Park. Yogi Berra hit a home run into screen over the left field wall. (Where the Monster Seats are now)

    Awesome question! I'm 34, so my memorable game was Game 1 of the 1988 World Series between the Dodgers and A's. An injured Kurt Gibson was put in the lineup by Lasorda during the bottom of the 9th, and he blasted a homerun to give L.A. the victory. Dodgers won their second (and last) Fall Classic under Tommy Lasorda. I was a huge Fernando Valenzuela fan as a kid, although he spent much of the '88 season in Mexico when his father got very ill and eventually died.

    How tall are you that this is even an limitation? You should not have to push a kid outta the right way to get a foul ball...Just reach over his head and grab it. But if a kid is racing to a ball on the ground, it's his cuz he's toward the bottom. And you can look like an @ss seeking to get the ball away from the child.

    2007- Tigers beat Yankees in Detroit. All runs scored on homeruns including inside the park homerun by Curtis Granderson.

    Mine was in 2003 and it was the tigers! I got to go on a field trip to see it during the summer! To bad I had a pole right in front of me the whole game. I got a free hot dog and drink! With no clue of what was going on.
