Have you ever been to a professional sports game? My sister's husband took my youngest and me to a NY Mets game at Shea Stadium back in April 2002. It was there 40th anniversary year. They were giving away Mike Piazza bobble head dolls at the gate. I really enjoyed the game and to see it live is much better than on television. I must say that I do miss the replays, though. I tend to miss a lot of action as I like to look around at the crowd and the goings on. I also went to a Montreal Expos game in Canada back in 1972. That was the first time I'd ever been to a game and the first time I ever went out of the country. I was waiting for an autograph from the players and I was handed a cracked bat from Bob Stinson. He was a St. Louis Cardinals player. That was very exciting for me. Have you ever been to a pro sports game, and if so, how did you like it compared to watching on tv?

Growing up in LA, my dad promised me if the Dodgers and the Angels ever made it to the World Series against each other he would take me. It didn't happen in his lifetime so I've never been. I'm not much for watching sports, would rather be playing, so doubt I ever will go to one.
On the other hand, my brother always gets season tickets to the Dodgers, so maybe I'll make it one day.

dragonstar, if you get the chance, go to at least one game. they really are a lot different than watching them on tv. i don't watch baseball at all during the season. but there was something about being there. check it out, i'm sure you will enjoy yourself.

I have been to a few professional games. A few baseball,a few basketball and a hockey game. I hope to see a football game someday. I think the excitement of being in the stadium is awesome. The noise level is amazing. I would love togo to a play-off series someday.
