Finally going to my first games tonight and tomorrow! I was going to go last year for Cueto's gem but I was pretty sick.

So, I got my BRYZZO jersey and I'm ready to go!!

In 2006 I bought a pair of tickets to several NLDS and NLCS games. One of the games I didn't have someone to go with so I posted on Myspace (pre facebook days) that I had a spare ticket to the NLCS game. A female from my Church jumped at the opportunity even though we didn't really know each other. After that game we clicked and spent the rest of the games watching on TV together. I then asked if she would be willing to go to Game 4 of the World Series with me, but because I wasn't rich she would have to pay for her ticket. She said yes.
Fast forward a year later we got engaged and now we have celebrated our 8 year wedding anniversary this year.

When the Cardinals got to the 2011 WS I bought tickets to a few games, but didn't feel like I could afford to keep them all so I resold my other tickets predicting there would be a game 7 and I wanted to be there for that one. That was a great experience for my wife and I to enjoy together since our first time getting to know each other was 5 years prior at the Cardinals playoff games.

So the Cardinals playoffs are very dear to our memories in our marriage.

That is a great story Andy. I had tickets to the original game 4, which was rained out. So people with game 5 tickets went to what became game 4 and game 4 ticket holders ended up at game 5, which was the clincher. As miserable and disappointing it was waiting for them to call game 4 , it worked out great for me in the end

Been fortunate to attend at least one game in each Series the Cardinals have been in since 1964 with the exception of 2013, but my biggest thrill was being at game six in 2011 with one of my sons. My view is it was one of the top 5 world series games of all time

Yeah I bought the tickets the day of the game at face value because the rain out made game 5 a non clincher so the seller didn't care about going. Yet it is a nice conversation piece because I have game 5 tickets, but went to game 4. Then in 2011 the game 6 was rained out, but they had learned from their mistake in 2006 and moved both games instead of doing the switch-a-roo they had done in 2006. That game 6 was stressful, since I had sold my guaranteed game 1 tickets to chance a game 7. My wife still teases me about pacing the house watching it on TV.

I went to every A's home WS game 1972-1974. Being a kid at the time I had no idea how fortunate I was at the time.
