Talk About the First MLB Game you attended

First MLB game I attended was on June 2, 1953 (68 years ago today) when the Detroit Tigers hosted the Philadelphia Athletics. (Also the first MLB game my dad attended.)
The game ended in a tie – not an uncommon situation at that time. American League rules said no inning could start after mid-night, so the game ended at the bottom of the 14th inning as a 7-7 tie. Detroit played four ties that season.

Astros vs cubs in the Astro dome. Dad took my sister and myself. Nolan was pitching and I'll never forget it.

The name "Tiger Rant" does not cover any and all teams with a Tiger as their mascot my friend.

Sometimes people will say "wrong board" and I disagree, but this one truly is on the wrong message board.

Houston Astros in the old dome. Watched Craig biggio hit a homer. Don’t really remember it.
Second one i remember better: Cleveland Indians with the all star lineup. Sandy alomar, Jim thome, manny Ramirez, Omar vizquel, marquis grissom. As a kid, I felt like It couldn’t get any better.

The first one I remember was an Astros game against the Expos in the late 70’s.

went to a Marlins game in middle of 2003....team was in the shitter at the time...want to say there were maybe a couple hundred fans in attendance. It was empty enough that each strike echoed throughout the whole park...that same shite team went on to win the world series that year.....that season has always been case and point that the MLB season is too fricking long

The absolute first baseball game I ever watched was Nolan Ryan’s 299th win, the old Ranger Stadium in Arlington. I was hooked after that.

94', first year the Rangers opened in Arlington against the Expos. My one and only MLB game. When I was younger I wanted so badly to go and see the Braves.

The first I remember was at Camden Yards, Cal Ripken Jr. hit a grand slam in the first inning, and in the 4th I almost caught another HR and got on Sportscenter.

There were some great players on the Astros and Braves in 68.

St the great old Tiger Stadium...... my first game was in 1973 I believe and Nolan Ryan threw a one hitter at the Tigers that day... unreal...... Tiger Stadium was a great venue for baseball.

‘96 Braves vs Astros in the Astrodome. Marquis Grissom hit the first pitch out….place was crawling with Braves fans, was an awesome memory

I can't find the actual game and date to save my life but I know these were true:
- Early 2000s
- Braves beat Cubs 3-2.
- Maddux gives up 2 solo shots.
- Braves win when their runner on 3rd was walked home in the bottom of the 9th.
- There was a rain delay.
- Turner Field.
