Default If you could go back in time to visit one game...

If you could go back in time to visit one game that you weren't able to attend or watch one player play that you never got to see, what and/or who would it be?

As a Dodgers fan, for me, it would be to attend the first game that Jackie Robinson played in for the Dodgers at Ebbett's Field on April 15, 1947.

I would like to have seen Ty Cobb at his peak.Running the bases with reckless abandonment.

I'd love to have seen a game Jimmy Claxton pitched in, but not the game when he integrated the PCL (1916). Instead I'd go with Claxton in his prime. His only recorded no-hitter (June 22, 1924) in the Tacoma Industrial League. The first two men got on due to errors and Claxton finished the rest in order (4-1 victory). Claxton also led the league in stolen bases that season, beating out a young centerfielder for the Tacoma Avenuers named Roy Johnson.

Fielder Jones was the president of the T.I.L.. When Babe Ruth came to town on a barnstorming tour in October 1924, the only pitcher to throw a no-hitter that season (Claxton) was left off the TIL All-Star roster. Would ask Fielder WTF?

Tough call, I would have liked to see Cobb play, and would love to have been at Larsen's world series perfect game, and Mazerowski's 1960 homer against the Yanks, I did see and remember the noise at the game over the TV.
But watching the Babe play ball everyday with a youthful joy would have to be on top of my wish list. He just had fun.

The first game at Hoboken field.

I would go back to attend the playoff of the "Merkel Boner" game, the last game of the 1908 season Giants v Cubs game.

For me, it would either be watching Bob Hendley of the Cubs throw a one hitter, but losing the game on an unearned run in 1965.

Or, the Marichal v Spahn 16 inning duel in 1963.

Although the Haddix game is up there on my list.
