I have been to loads of Yankees & Mets Baseball games dragged there by my son & wife, the game is BORING, boring & more boring. Cricket, now thats a great game, at least they score a couple of hundred runs.

Wow, you saw Babe Ruth play? You must have lived here a loooooooooong time then;) :D


I love going to a ball game. I think the atmosphere is great and the game can get very exciting. I've been an Astros fan for the last 20 years. A home game in the Astrodome used to be a cheap afternoons entertainment when our kids were young and we were broke. We could park the car and buy four tickets for the "nosebleed" section, have a hotdog and a beer and still spend less than going to a movie. It got more expensive when the Astros moved to Minute Maid Park but it is still a good and safe evenings entertainment.


Go 'stros!!!!!!!!!

Jeez, you don't go to a cricket match to watch it, you go for the booze (or am I missing the point:confused: ). Isn't that the case too with baseball:eek:

My now @ Uni son, use to go to the Shea stadium at 6.0am and hang around all day for signatures, practice & then the game. He big time fan. We have special wood (Non reflective) cases for signed balls, we have signed bats, $350 (Mitchell Ness) shirts.
On the way to a Friday night game, game got rained out. Went on Saturday to the "Double Header", Almost 6 hours of boring nothing, the 2 games produced about 5 or 6 runs, whoopeeeeee.
Designated runner:

We have signed balls from Nolan Ryan as he used to own our local bank;)

It was our daughter that was the biggest fan and she still is, now her team is the Cardinals:thumbdown:

I can be totally unbiased here and say I hate baseball just as much as I hate cricket.
