Question

what is something special that happened on the day of at a baseball game

Answer 1

As a youngster I went to Yankee Stadium early one day to watch batting practice. I was able to get to the end of the Yankee dugout by first baseball to watch. Suddenly out of the corner of my eye out steps Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. I was standing there by myself. Mantle turned to me and started talking to me. He came over and I shook his hand and for about 5 minutes we talked a little baseball. We shook hands again and he wished me luck. I was 13 years old at the time but those were five minutes that became one of the great highlights of my youth. I met him two more times before he died. He remembered me both times.

Answer 2

I was at a game in the old Cleveland stadium. The Indians (my 2nd favorite team, because I live in Ohio) were taking on my favorite team, the Oakland A's. I cant remember the exact year but it was when the A's had Canseco, McGwire, and Steinbach (triple A's). The first pitch of the ball game, Rickey Henderson, the center fielder for the A's, blasted a home-run to break the major league record for the most lead off home-runs, to start a game, in baseball history.

Answer 3

I have two. Both were at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh. The first was in 1987, I was sitting behind the first base dugout, and before the game, a bunch of us were trying to get Bill Almond's attention. He ignored us, but as he was going to the dugout, he flipped the ball in my direction, and I caught it. Later in the game, I was nearly hit in the face by a foul ball. I saw the ball zoom past me, and hit the stairs next to me.
The second one was in 1994. The Pirates were playing the Cardinals, and Mark Whitten hit a ball that went into the upper deck, and had it been 20 feet higher, it would have went out of the stadium. Everyone in the crowd stood up, both dugouts, and both bullpens to watch the ball go. He even took a curtain call.

Answer 4

Answer 5

My first and so far, only baseball experience. Everything was special about it. My Yankees were playing the Mariners and I believe it was only the second pitch thrown when Bernie smacked it out of the yard. I'll never forget that or the whole experience. FYI, The Yanks won both games :)

Answer 6

I have been to a few great games and have seen some great things but I have been to only one really special game:

August 10, 1981. Philadelphia Phillies vs St. Louis.

Pete Rose passed Stan "The Man" Musial for the All Time National League leader for hits.

Answer 7

April 11, 1994 -- Opening Day and the first game at the Rangers' new home, then (and for me, forevermore) named The Ballpark In Arlington. Paid a bundle for tickets, but worth it -- I'd never been to a park debut game. Took the dear girlfriend, who had never been to a game before. She has never been much for jewelry, but appreciated it when I said I was giving her the biggest diamond I could find. Eventually the rain let up, the game began, and the Rangers fell to the then-AL Brewers, 4-3.

I married that girl. We've been back to The Ballpark many times, lately with kids (and one memorable 18-inning marathon while she was pregnant, and insisted we stay for the whole thing).

Answer 8

Mid July 1994, just before the strike, Johnny Valentin of the Sox had an unassisted triple play....................then he casually rolled the ball back to the mound. A Hall of Fame agent then took the ball for safe keeping.
It happened so fast, people did not know what happened or that they just witnessed one of the rarest feats in baseball.

I was standing behind the grandstand by the left field corner.

Answer 9

Well, I know I explained it before in one of my questions but, I will tell it again..lol...
October 2 1983 was Carl Yastrzemskis last game as a Boston Red Sox player after a great career spent solely with the Sox...He played left field for the last time and got a hit too...At the very end of the game he ran all the way around the field and waved to everyone and I cried like a baby..lol...

Answer 10

Don't remember what happened in the game, but I remember it was a cool spring evening, and I was with my good friends and firework after the game....ahhhh good times.
