Port Said Red Posted September 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) Cracking game this 5-5 bottom of the 7th. Some great pitching from the Sox until that 2 run homer. 7-5 Yankees. Edited September 24, 2022 by Port Said Red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Yes, I'm a Sox fan, which recently hasn't been much fun at all. Went to watch the two games versus the Yankees in London a couple of years ago, which was amazing (though, obviously they lost both games). I was introduced to baseball by @The turtlewho is a Yankees fan (don't hold it against him). It annoys him greatly that before I started supporting the Sox, they hadn't won a World Series since 1918, but within a year of me starting to support them they'd won it (coming from three games behind in the Championship series to beat the Yankees 4-3 ). What's more, in that period they've won it a total of four times, and the Yankees have won it just once. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscrumpton Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Yankees fan since 2005, here. This was the 1st game I went to, which got me into it https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA200505290.shtml I’ve seen far too many Red Sox WS titles since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You being part of it just made it so so so much worse. Ps and it hasn't been great since Edited September 25, 2022 by The turtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest I don't have a team, I just developed an interest whilst holidaying in the US. I take a bit of interest in the Pittsburgh Pirates, because they had a winter training camp near where we had our timeshare in Florida, and I saw them training one day. I also visited the Fenway when we toured New England, even in a traditional City like Boston it looked the oldest building in America. I really enjoy the game though and the similarities and differences to cricket, I would love to go and see a live game, it's on my bucket list.

Saw LA Angel's play Oakland (from memory) in Anaheim and the best thing was the catering available. Great day out with tickets under $10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DolmanGaz Posted September 25, 2022 Report Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) I've never seen a game live, but growing up watching films like Brewster's Millions, always wanted to catch a game. Going to Seattle next week and have a ticket to see the Mariners, looking forward to it (but not the $17 a beer prices, especially with this appalling exchange rate!!!)

I started in 1996, Channel 5 world series . Yankees v padres, i picked the Yankees , and basically started from there. Fenway is one seriously old place, essentially you are taking 33% of united States history in one building. Wrigley field also had the same essence. I didn't see a game in either but did go round the outside, grabbing the parts of history i could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go as a two and eat , 1 meal is enough. We had chicken and fries for 1 between two at Yankee stadium, didn't get close to finishing.

The Trop. The Rodgers Centre. Nats Park. I also went on a tour of Dodgers Stadium in December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5_RED Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Cardinals fan here. I had a tear in my eye when the big fella hit 700 the other night. When the next one above you in the home run list is some bloke called Babe Ruth - you know this is a big deal. He came home to St Louis for a last year. Everyone thought it was just for vibes and to coach the young kids. No-one really thought he'd be this good. He's 43 ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscrumpton Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I was at the game he hit numbers 499 and 500. I saw 499, but missed number 500 in a queue for food 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
