Don't remember the exact day, it was probably around 1996 or 1997. Family trip to Atlanta to visit other family, went see a Braves/Expos game. Expos won, I remember someone hit a grand slam and my uncle was coming back from the concession stands when it happened and it landed in his general vicinity.
About all I remember, I was like 8 years old at the time

My first was a Rangers game in 98 when they were playing the Cardinals and McGwire was in the home run race. My dad still gives me shite about it cause he had to take me to the bathroom and while we were gone McGwire hit a bomb. 2 innings later he took me to get some food from the concession stand and a brawl broke out on the field. I was very young so I don’t remember all this but I made my dad miss a lot of action that day.

both have their icons on seats in the left field bleachers of the Astrodome where they hit prodigious home runs.

Cincinnati Reds vs. St. Louis Cardinals in St. Louis
Same here. It was July 8, 1999, when I was 27. Grew up a huge Reds fan. Also, grew up playing, watching, and breathing baseball. Father played semipro for years. I played as high as JUCO. I grew up on a dairy farm, so we never had time to go to an MLB game. After daddy sold the farm we(myself and father RIP) finally went. Reds were actually good, in first place, and smashed the Cards. Have since been to many games taking my son a few years later. Good times.

I remember mine well. Astros/Cubs opening day in the Astrodome (1999 or 2000). Last season of the Astrodome. Sosa almost got tossed for arguing an out call. Carl Everett and Richard Hidalgo went back to back. Shane Reynolds threw well. I think Wagner closed it. Astros win 4-2. My dad was gone from the 3rd to the 7th with my sister getting merch/concessions, etc. Long trip for not much ball for him lol

First game I truly recall was A's Rangers do not remember much other than my legs getting 4th degree burns from the bleachers.
Yankees Royals at Royals Stadium, Nettles pop slides at 3rd and they start fighting.
Third game was The Cardinals Red Shoendinst was the manager that I remember as they were firing everyone that year.

Game 4, 1995 NLCS, Braves vs Reds, Atlanta-Fulton Co Stadium. Steve Avery on the mound.
Braves swept the Reds and won their third pennant in 5 years. Went on to win their only World Series 4-2 vs Cleveland.

This didn't happen. Expos and Rangers were in different leagues and inter league play didn't exist yet.

It was the Late 70s in Tiger Stadium. My dad took me. I don't remember who Detroit played but I remember Jack Billingham was pitching for Detroit.

Pirates vs Phillies July ‘62 at Connie Mack. I had a seat behind a girder at that crappy old stadium. A week later Marilyn Monroe killed herself.
