[Simple Torture]

Stadiums visited: 3
Cities visited: 3

Do people really care about the rest?

Boston, St. Louis, San Diego. I'm not a big traveler.

[Norah]

I've been to Fenway, Citi Field, and AT&T Park.

Best pitcher I've ever seen is Pedro. Best position player I've ever seen is Barry Bonds.

[E.H. Ruddock]

We used to travel the east coast so I could see Rickey Henderson play as much as possible.

[numbers]

I've seen games at Fenway, Camden, the Astrodome and Minute Maid Park.

Best pitcher is Pedro, best position player would have to be Bonds.

[Monkey_Driven]

Man, I've been to more parks that I thought.

White Sox Ballpark (whatever the hell it is called now)
Ballpark at Arlington
Old Busch and New Busch Stadium
Kauffman Stadium
Target Field
Metrodome
Wrigley
Fenway

Best pitcher was Maddox. Best position player was Bonds.

[rick malone]

Only been to Camden Yards, Arizona D Backs stadium, and old Memorial Stadium.

Best Player I personally saw: Roberto Alomar in 96/97

[MadTIGERmaN]

[quote="Bammer"]Stadiums visited: 4 - granted 1, was for Pearl Jam concerts, and the other, St Louis, I visited, when the Cards weren't there, and I was in town for an Ed Ved concert, the other 2, County Stadium and Miller Park, so really ive only been to 1 teams stadium to see ball games.
Cities visited: Just Milwaukee for baseball
States visited: 1
Miles traveled: 88 per game
Favorite stadium: County Stadium (bleachers for life at the old dump)
Worst stadium: Wrigley Field (spend a 3 hour rain delay at a rock concert and youll know why)
Most games you’ve attended in one season: I broke 20 County Stadiums last year
Best position player you’ve seen: Hank Aaron, I was maybe 10? and Aaron played, what was most likely his last ever old timers game in Milwaukee. I can still picture him at bat, all 3 out fielders literally playing the fence, and Aaron getting a easy single to left. He might have been long retired and past his prime, but man did that make an impression on me. the standing ovation he got, the outfielders on the fence. Other than that, man, I could be a homer and say Molitor or Yount, but I gotta go with Ichiro.
Best pitcher you’ve seen: Warren Spahn tossing out a few first pitches I'd probably go with Nolan Ryan
Best fans: I watch a ton of baseball on MLB.tv. Oakland's got that one section in the outfield that rocks. Otherwise, I'm going with Japan. Watch Japanese games and youll know why. Someday I will go to a game over there.
Most annoying fans: Cubs easily. For a team that sucked for so many years, their fans act like they were the Yankees
Your favorite team: Brewers (and whatever team Molitor or Ichiro were/are on)
Favorite rivalry: Brewers and Cubs have been within like 5 games wins/losses vs each other for almost their entire rivalry.
Seen your team win a World Series?: I was 5 when the Crew went to the world series. I can remember watching games with my mother. The only other thing I can clearly remember that happened before that is my grandpa who passed away a few weeks before the series.
Visited the Hall of Fame?: bucket list
Seen a Hall of Fame induction ceremony?: No

What would your at-bat walk up music be?: Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix.
Closer entrance music: Save You - Pearl Jam

I feel like favorite players needs to be on this? my top 5 - Molitor, Ichiro, Aaron, Jeff Cirillo, Ben Sheets


other highlights

Going to a handful of games during Molitors hitting streak (and sitting up and listening to the 40th game when the streak was over)

CC Sabathias first start as a Brewer, man, that place was ELECTRIC that night.

Game 5 vs the DBacks, another ELECTRIC crowd.

[Norah]

I was at Fenway for Chris Sale's Red Sox debut.

[MadTIGERmaN]

I was at Fenway for Chris Sale's Red Sox debut.

Its a pretty cool atmosphere when a team picks up a big name starter like that.

I still get a lil mad that Sabathia didn't finish higher for MVP that year. sure, he was 6th, but Braun was 3rd. What Sabathia did in those 17 starts, 7 complete games, 3 shut outs, SHOULD HAVE HAD A NO HITTER STUPID PITTSBURGH SCORE KEEPER. And I wanna say the last 4 starts were on short rest (might be 3 in the regular season and the first one in the playoffs) 1.65 ERA, 1.00 whip, He carried that team.

I attended 62 Cubs home games (including playoffs) in 2003. And then I met my now wife and we got married and had kids. Crap. I miss those weekend afternoons getting drunk.

I've been to a lot of the "older" ballparks (Wrigley, Fenway, old Yankee, County Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Comisky) and nothing, I mean nothing, beats Tiger Stadium along the third baseline or in the right field porch. God I miss that ballpark.

I've seen games at Fenway, Camden, the Astrodome and Minute Maid Park.

Best pitcher is Pedro, best position player would have to be Bonds.

I have also been to City Of Palms Park and Hammond Stadium during spring training if that counts.

62 in one season is impressive.

[E.H. Ruddock]

In 2007 I attended (I think) 32 Mariners games. That's how many stubs I still have, but I think there may have been a few more

I lived 5 blocks from Wrigley Field with virtually no responsibiliites. Now I'm lucky if I make 10 games a year.

[EJ]

Old Yankee - dozens of games incl playoffs & WS
New Yankee - hate it
Shea
Citi
Fenway
PNC - prob my fave bball park; can't say enough about this place
Philly's newish one
AT&T
Exhibition (Montreal)
Fulton County (Atlanta)

- Rickey, Mattingly, and Winfield were always incredible for me to see as a kid.
- Saw McGuire hit a moon shot at Shea during his Maris run in 1998. That was pretty awesome.

[@SkitchP]

I was at Fenway for Chris Sale's Red Sox debut.

I was at Fenway for Victorinos Grand Slam.

[verb_to_trust]

Wrigley
Busch
Miller
Comiskey

Coolest thing I ever saw was Bobby Abreu run out to the right field bleachers like Sammy Sosa used to. He had it down perfect. I don't know how fans booed him for that, I died.

I also knew the organ player for the white Sox as a kid. I stayed at their house sometimes and watched a few games from the organ box.
