Who here has attended WS games

[clydepepper]

You Guys have made me very jealous!

I have never attended a World Series game.

I worked in retail management in the 1990's and couldn't catch a break while the Braves were in.

The 'Big' bosses never understood enough to send in relief for ME!



While the Braves are doing a good job of rebuilding, I don't know if I will get another opportunity before I 'leave'.



I do enjoy watching on TV though...as the first MLB game I ever 'saw' was Game 1 of the 1963 Series in Black & White.

While I was already hooked on the Game, THAT Game cemented my connection, my obsession and my addiction.

I told this in another thread in the past. I have only been to one World Series game and that was game 6 of the 91 series here in Minnesota. We got free tickets from a corporate person. Between the Twins being down 3-2 in games, Puckett's catch off the plexiglass in left center, and his walk off home run, it gets my vote for the greatest baseball game I have ever seen. It was absolute pandemonium after the game and in Minneapolis. I cannot describe.

I know there are better WS games with Gibson's HR, Larsen's perfect game, etc. There are many people who say the 91 series was the greatest ever and I cannot argue that point.

I remember watching that on tv like it was yesterday(I was 16 years old). I was not at the game but do have the ticket stub and a gu puckett signed bat from 1991 year. I was at game 1. The metrodome was crazy.. I cannot imagine what it was like after that hr.

This thread is f n sweet btw.

Bummer about your bosses in Atl, but you were far luckier than all the guys at the institution in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest. That's the specific game McMurphy tries to get voted onto TV, but gets screwed by the rules. Oh that Nurse Ratched's evil knows no bounds.

Game 4 of the '86 series at Fenway. Gary Carter hit 2 dingers in a winning effort. Being a Sox fan, that series was a tough pill to swallow.
