What are the five most important things to remember when you go to a major league baseball game?

Question

Most thoughtful and creative response wins best answer.

Answer 1

1. Bring: camera, money, bottle of water, sunscreen (if a day game), and more money. And your tickets, natch.

2. If you starting thinking about complaining that the game is taking too long, get up, leave, and go do whatever you think is more important. Me, there's very few things I'd rather do than watch a ballgame live. Remember that extra innings are free baseball; you don't get an extra scene at the theatre or an extended ending at the movies.

3. Root, root, root for the home team -- unless you like the other guys. The home team are the guys in white uniforms.

4. The game is being played on that large, green lawn down the bottom of the seating bowl. Eyes should be in that direction.

5. If you're confused, ask a fellow fan. Most people tend to be willing to talk, real fans are happy to explain the game. The basics are simple; the nuances and fine details are complex.

Bonus! 6. It is highly improbable you will get hit by a foul or home run -- but pay attention anyway. A baseball is rock-hard and at high speed can cause serious hurt. If you do get plunked, stand up (if you can) and take the applause; if you recover the ball, hold it high. You've earned your moment.

Answer 2

1. Wear clothes that fit the weather - check the forecast ahead of time.
2. Bring plenty of beer money - or hotdog money, coke money, whatever else people might buy at ballgames
3. Bring friends - a ballgame is always fun but its twice as fun with a bunch of friends.
4. Remember where you parked... I shouldn't need to explain why.
5. Remember to respect those around you and they'll respect you back - don't swear in front of the wife of a guy that looks like a linebacker, don't trample a 6-year old girl going for a foulball, tip your beer man (or peanut guy or whoever, the beerman is the most important guy there).

Answer 3

When attending a baseball game you should always remember:
1. Ticket
2. Remember to wear the right team attire--Your favorite team is always the right one
3. Peanut, cracker jacks, hot dogs and beer -- not in any particular order
4. Always root for your favorite player and boo the opposing team's star player
5. Remember that there are 27 outs per team so don't leave early, stranger things happened than winning a game that your team is down by 8.

Answer 4

#1) Show up early and tailgate
#2) Stay for the whole game for cryin' out loud. You spend a lot of money on tickets, food, drinks etc..., you might as well have as long of a day there as you can
#3) Do whatever it takes to get on the jumbotron - its worth it
#4) Use the empty seats in the front row
#5) Have fun and don't let other people ruin a great day at the ballpark

Answer 5

1glove, 2money (food costs way too much), 3watch the field at all times, , 4towards the end of the game get the tickets of people sitting in the box seats so you can sit there for the last 2 innings then 5bring a little kid if you want to get a ball from a player after the game( yes 4 and 5 both work)

Answer 6

1. Bring a ticket

2. If you are at a Cubs game, don't clap when they announce that the White Sox won.

3. When the drunk behind you spills beer down your back, grin and tell him, "no problem."

4. Don't stand when everyone else is sitting, it's a great way to hit with a plastic snow cone holder.

5. When you hear the crack of the bat, don't be looking at the TV camera. It's a great way to lose teeth.

Answer 7

I do not know if there are 5 important things to remember when you go to any baseball game be it majors,minors or little league. There is only 1 rule to remermber and that is the
GOLDEN RULE. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Remember is just a game and there is no reason
to be RUDE or INSULTING and especially PHYISCAL to fans of any visiting team.
I am going to a game tonight as a visiting fan and I have found
the ballpark that I am going to, that the fans are generally gracious and enjoy the game as a baseball fan. Of course,
there could be one IDIOT and also one that has drank too
much that can ruin it for everyone.

Answer 8

Watch out for fly balls. This is a family sport so no bad language. don't block the aisle when someone really good comes up to bat. Drink sensibly. If you have signs or banners please don't hold them up so long the people in back of you can't enjoy the game. Just because the handicap seat is empty don't think you can sit there.If you catch a home-run hit ball and the player ask for it back you really don't have to give it up but usually they will make it worth your while. Keep your children off roller wheels

Answer 9

1.) Your Glove
2.) Your ID - So you can get an overpriced beer with your hot dog
3.) A Sharpie - In case of autograph opportunities
4.) A bleacher cushion (if you have a bleacher seat)
5.) Your own scorecard - true fans still take all the stats themselves during the game

Answer 10

Pay attention and get off your cell phone, you don't want a line drive in the head.
Don't use rude language, there are children around.
Bring plenty of money, ballpark food is expensive.
Don't stand and block an aisle while the game is in progress
HAVE FUN!!
