Gugny Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 ""Baseball games are really challenging for someone with a nut allergy, because everyone's throwing shells around," said his father, Ben. "For my son, if he has any kind of contact, if he steps on a peanut and takes off his shoe, he could go into anaphylactic shock." Who the ***** takes off their shoes at a ballpark? This is ***** stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd watch every game, keep stats, and hope that they’d still live to see the Sox win a World Series - and I’m including my friend’s 90-year old Polish babscia -she was a diehard! Myself, i’d go to Fenway sometimes 3 or 4 times a week, sometimes doubleheaders. Baseball is a great way to spend a summer afternoon or warm evening at the ballpark.

I keep a scorecard watching a daily game at home and stats sheet for hoops, but I’m a number cruncher in my early 50s. And spend $5 on a program and keep a scoresheet at Jays games, none last year. my great grandpa was a diehard Dodgers fan and died a few months after they won in 1955 Seems everyone around me at games is buried in the phone the whole time, I guess the nets are up so they don’t get hit in the head by a foul ball, that would be a tragedy....

I love live baseball (as well as on the radio and/or TV). I wish I lived closer to a big league park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yepper...closest one for me, now, is Toronto -which is a long drive to see anything but a Red Sox game. (Fenway was a 20-minute stroll - if I made it there before stopping halfway at the Elliott Lounge) . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a massive commitment to spending quality time at a MLB stadium had seasons for a few years and going to 10 game home stands got to be too much maybe try it again in retirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick check of the Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers shows that they all have similar packages for sale. Not sure who's in demand more than those three.
