That is a special moment as I am sure for most baseball fans the first game with their dad is.

first one for me was hazy as ****. I was 5 and it was sox in anaheim. The one I remember the most was my dads accountant being an accountant for the cubs and getting to go in carays booth,meeting him and playing with the fish net. It was also the 89 NLCS where will clark went deep. I was stunned, and as a kid upset because i was a fan of both teams, but will clark will be baseball for me for the rest of my life.

I was six so it was pretty hazy for me as well, but I know that is was against Montreal. And that we were sitting about halfway between Mark Grace and Andre Dawson. I remember Sandberg sliding into second base, and that is about it.

And my feelings towards Will Clark are considerable different than yours.

that was my first live homerun.

i remember i made a sign for the cubs game when i was smaller out of carboard and shit and actually got dunston to give me a hug and sign my sign along with grace.

i may not cheer for the cubs but they are a part of my baseball past.

Will Clarks did too much to ruin my life. The homerun in 89, and then of course he did for the Cardinals in 2000, which is what always happens for the Cardinals. A key part of their team goes down and they get some career minor leaguer or guy at the end of his career having a career year to give them exactly what they need to make another deep run in the postseason.

My first baseball game with dad was when I was a baby (18 monthish I think). But the first game I can remember is with my uncle who has had season tix my whole life. I was 6 and it was against the Twins. Thomas had 2 homers.

Have fun Glide hope they win :D


My first game was a Cubs vs Astros game when I was 7 I think. It was the company outing where everybody brings their kids. It was fun I remember that

Yeah it was fun. We got to do the pregame parade around the warning track, so I got some cool field level pics. It was awesome for my son seeing his first live game.

It was cool for me because I saw a bunch of people that I knew from back in 93 when I worked there. One of them even took a pic of my son and I on the field in CF. Memories like that, are just too special.

Suck they lost, but they did rally back though, you can't be too mad. One thing though, that new sports gear store is nice as hell!

It's cool seeing a place that has a tiny Cubs section, instead of a tiny Sox section.

Seats were in the 500 Level.

Got some great pics, just got to figure out how to put them on here.
