I've been to 1 NHL game and 2 or 3 NBA games; I'm sure I can dig up the dates for those first ones since I would have the programs and most likely a printed recap of the game.<br /><br />Is there a link for your story on your "interview" with The Admiral in a toy store? I'm intrigued!Jafroniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946965301520580238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-69105549942043875552019-07-12T17:10:45.545-04:002019-07-12T17:10:45.545-04:00The Dodgers visit the Mets on the weekend of Septe...The Dodgers visit the Mets on the weekend of September 13-15.

The only reason I know that is because I went to a few games when they played at the Cow Palace.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-92083347744344515112019-07-11T23:11:46.859-04:002019-07-11T23:11:46.859-04:00I haven't been to a baseball game since the Me...I haven't been to a baseball game since the Mets and Tigers in 2013, and the last major sporting event I attended was a Rangers/Oilers game at MSG in 2016-17. My brother and I keep saying we'll go to a Mets game--we actually had tickets for one and a combination of work and weather problems led to us not going. <br /><br />Greatest players I've ever seen in person are Mays, Jordan, and Messier. I have no idea for football--I've been to a few Jets games, so maybe Namath? But maybe I didn't go until after he retired. Saw Pele with the Cosmos, too. But I envy those who actually remember their first games--that's completely lost to the sands of time for me.

And you've got the added bonus of having met and interviewed a bunch of them. <br /><br />Lol, the Packers couldn't even put up a field goal against that Bills team. They really did suck back then.

Autographs are easy to get at Minor League parks. I got many of the current Padres and Rockies when they were up and coming, as well as a bunch of future Astros players. Sitting at a ballpark is like sitting at home on a couch for me. Very pleasant experience. I understand the living far away part, but I only take new jobs near professional baseball teams.

Literally. The parking cost $25...I actually considered doing that, even though the Knicks, Nets and Celtics are all closer to home. <br /><br />I have never attended any actual games. I don't like crowds, I do like air conditioners, I like no lines waiting for food or bathroom, and the TV offers replays and multiple angles. I am hoping to attend a Knicks and Rangers game sometime during the 2019-20 season though.
