How Many Baseball Games have you attended this season?
I've been to three Nationals Games, two Orioles Games, one Yankees Game and four Frederick Keys (A) games........

The Frederick Keys games are cheap and fun.

4. I don't attend professional baseball games anymore
But I've gone to two Classic Base Ball games played according to the 1867 rules. Way more fun than a pro game.

8. Zero.
Nobody to go with. I'm the sole baseball fan that likes going to games in my circle. :cry:

10. None.
And until my team can remember how to play the game, I'm not wasting a dollar on them.

11. Many
Edited on Wed Jul-16-08 05:07 PM by bigwillq
just not any MLB games.

I've covered a lot (high school, little league, Legion) for the paper I work for.


Haven't been to an MLB game in many, many years.

19. I absolutely LOVE Legion ball!
:D

Is there a website that lists the Legion ball clubs by region?

22. I know there is a CT Legion website
So I am probably sure there are other websites from across the country.

:) :hi:

12. Little league? A dozen or so. Pros? Two.
Of course, "local" around here means A class minor league affiliates of the Colorado Rockies and Oakland A's. Minor league games are a lot of fun, and with the smaller crowds (I've never seen one with more than a few hundred people in the stands) it's a lot less crowded. I actually have prepaid tickets to go see the Rockies affiliate again, but haven't found time this summer.

The last major league game I attended was a SF Giants home game over 5 years ago. The slower pace of the majors, the lack of interaction, and the crowds just aren't worth it.

14. To my eternal shame, I've not attended any
The Mariners suck and LittleCoffee is still a bit to little to make it through a whole game (although she's bugging me to go).

15. Two so far, Yankees and the Red Sox on the 4th of July and one Richmond Braves game
I hope to make a couple more Braves games since this is there last season in Richmnd. They couldn't get the new stadium they wanted so they're relocating to Gwinnett County. It's too bad, going to the games was usually a good time.:-(

17. I went to the EL Home Run Derby today
The Eastern League Home Run Derby was held in Manchester this afternoon, and the hometown hero came away a winner. Travis Snider of the NH Fisher Cats edged out Lou Montanez of the Bowie Bay Sox to win the title.

Looks like Blue Jays and Orioles fans have something to look forward to in a year or two!

18. I've been to
the Cubs at Rockies, two Triple-A, and a whole lotta my kids' games (I'm not a jinx to Buzzard-Butt's or Daniel's team -- woohoo!)

I might go to another Sky Sox game next month -- my HS reunion is having a baseball 'event'.

Washington stole my Expos. I live right in the area and can't bring myself to go see the Nats.
