As a baseball fan, do you have a "goal" you want to accomplish?

Question

For me, it's to visit every ballpark in America, including Shea Stadium and Yankee Stadium before they're torn down next year. After that, it's to visit the Hall of Fame.

Do you have any goals related to being a baseball fan?

Answer 1

I've already visited a bunch of the major league parks, and while I'm always happy to do so and see new ones, there's not many left I REALLY want to visit. Camden Yards, the Telco-named place where the Giants play, Dodger, Jacobs, Safeco, New Yankee and Citi someday, Chase, Petco, PNC, the new DC park... okay, well, I guess I DO wanna see them all. But there's no sense of urgency.

I'd like to catch another foul ball. The one I did get was mainly because the section was vacant after a long rain delay, so I could hardly miss.

I'd like to see the Red Sox post a 100+ win season. I've not only witnessed a championship (and the end of that damn curse and all the baggage that went with it), they gave me another! I think a 100-win season is all that's left I can ask of them.

I'd like to attend a postseason game. I've had a few slim chances but it's never worked out yet. Went to the All-Star Game in 1995 (Arlington) so that's off the list.

Answer 2

Yes, I do. I, too, want to visit every major league ballpark. I especially want to see a Yankee game at Yankee Stadium before it's torn down which actually wont be that hard because I live pretty close to it. I also want to catch a ball. I'm a big baseball fan, but I've only been to two games: a game at Yankee Stadium and a game at Fenway Park. I was never close to catching a ball in both of those games. If I ever do catch a ball in Yankee Stadium, I want to get it signed by all of the Yankees. My friend has a ball signed by Andy Pettitte and a separate ball that is signed by Yankee greats: Mariano Rivera, Joe Torre, Joe Girardi, David Wells, David Cone, Andy Pettitte....it was amazing. Great question.

Answer 3

Up there for me is to go see Yankee Stadium next season before it gets torn down. I also agree that it would be my dream to visit every ballpark in America (and the one in Canada, don't forget the Blue Jays).

Another big goal for me is to catch a ball at a ball game. I came close at the last game I was at. The ball hit a seat and flew a few sections away to another person. I really would love to catch a ball.

My dream, though would be to actually be able to go out onto the field. Maybe to play or just to meet players. That would be a dream come true for me.

Answer 4

I want to see my Cubs win the world series 5 times before I die. It will happen people, stop being so ignorant and naive.

I also want to visit every ballpark in the U.S. Thankfully when I was younger, I already visited Fenway Park, Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, Jacob's Field, the Astrodome, the Metrodome, Minute Maid Park, Three Rivers Stadium, Comiskey Park, Dolphin Stadium, U.S. Cellular Field, and [cuz I live in Chicago and I'm a Cubs fan] WRIGLYE FIELD TONS OF TIMES! THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL!

well, i've got a long way to go lol

Answer 5

i already have reached my goal of going to the Hall of Fame, what a great place. I've only been to shea,and yankee stadium unfortunately.

Answer 6

I used to have that same dream of hitting every stadium, but that's tough to do once you start a family. I know you're a yougn guy, so I'd suggest doing as much as possible of that when you can.

Personally, I'd like to write something about baseball. The challenge is in finding an area that hasn't already been covered, since there are so many amazing baseball books already in existence. That, and reconciling yourself to the fact that you'll devote hundreds and hundreds of hours to something off which you'll make no money.

Answer 7

good question Elliot and yes well this i want to Yankee stadium before its torn down as a Yankee fan and fenway it looks like a nice ball park and go on the field and watch some bp that would be cool

and like my future job [i hope] is to be working for the yes network doing what Kim Jones does interview the Yankee players

Answer 8

Yes, I'd love to see the Dodgers win the World Series before I graduate High School.
(They better get movin', times a tickin')
And I would also love to see some more stadiums, I've only been to one, Dodger Stadium

Answer 9

I'd love to visit every stadium, but I probably wont be able to before they all close. I went to Shea, and it was worth it.

Answer 10

haha, you have the same goal as me, but as a twist, i want to do that as a baseball announcer! Ive already visited around 8 current ballparks, how bout you?
