How many Major League Baseball games...

Post by Tiki Bar »

...do you think you'll attend this year?

My husband bought our family of four a 10-game-pack for Miller Park, and today's my 1st game... they went without me last Saturday, since I had other plans. (1 or 2 would be plenty for me, but...)

So far the only one I am going to be attending is a Red Sox Yankees game in September.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

A lot of the charm of the "down town" ball park quickly disapears when you start to figure in travel time, parking, and TRAFFIC :o The Giants have that cool ferry ride across the bay, but it's still the better part of a day to attend a game. We'll go to more minor league games 8)

And the three game series between the Yankees and Chicago's OTHER team in August.

I'll probably end up at about 35-40 games. I have a 10 game plan for the Yanks but through work I have already had the opportunity to get more tickets and I also have a friend who just retired this season from MLB and he still gets tickets through his new gig on TV. I've been to 3 so far this season but next scheduled game is 6/6 against the Sox.

2 years ago, I did 18 games.

Last year, new job, only got to 3.

This year, another new job, so far have already made 2, but it looks tough for a couple months. We'll see.

This year probably 10-12 home games plus 2 games in Toronto and maybe 1 game in NY.

Last season I went to about 12 home games and 6 road games.

Minor league, little league, American Legion baseball, women's slo-pitch softball-I have a great time at each of those.
