A single strip in the better sections was $800 or so. I forget what nose bleeds were.

Yeah, I can't justify that kind of money for that.

Still too much.
No, that would be stupid...it's TWO exhibition games, and the Home Run Derby...To watch an exhibition game?

This is the only all star game and HR Derby I'll probably ever go to. My baseball bucket list will be complete.
Catch ball
Attend playoffs
Attend world series.
See my team win WS (bonus in person)

I had a string of close calls with catching a ball at various minor and major league games for about a three year period. Last five years or so I haven't even come close.

That's how it goes. I got all 5 of mine in about a 3 yr stretch in my teens. The other 20 yrs of baseball, nothing.

My mom had been going to baseball games for 50 years before she got a foul ball (I say "got" because it bounced near her, and we were at RFK so there was nobody there, and she went and got it.
)

I've been going to games for 40 years with my Dad. I've NEVER caught a foul ball. I always joke when they show people being shamed for taking a foul ball away from little kids that if I ever catch one there's no way in hell I'm giving it to a little kid. Anyway, last year, my niece and her friend used my dad's seats for a game and naturally they got a foul ball!!! I was very jealous.

What does an adult do with a ball after they get it? If they are not with child that ball needs to go to the child seated nearest to them.

I always scout out kids sitting close to me, just in case. Bonus points for little girls who are actually watching the game. Bratty children who kick seats are not considered.
I've never caught one, but at this point, I don't really care if I do.
on my baseball bucket list - attend a no-hitter

Been going to baseball games for 53 years. Still no ball. Closest was Dave Kingman (SF Giants) at Shea Stadium who popped a fly one row behind me. Next was at Yankee Stadium I when a foul bounced off one of the support girders and went one row in front of me.I always scout out kids sitting close to me, just in case.

If you care to keep it and don't want to be booed, bring a spare.
Otherwise to hell with the kids. Catch your own **** ball you little brats. I have absolutely no issue with this approach.

Giambi blasted one to the upper deck in old Yankee stadium that ended up a couple rows behind me. Didn't get that one.
Got my first this past spring training. Had Mick Kelleher (Yankees coach) toss me one towards the end of the game. All the kids around me had been tossed a ball through the game, so that's why I asked him for one.
I would definitely suggest spring training to get a ball. Seats near the dugout are usually real cheap, at least compared to prices during the season.
I've attended division games (vs Twins and Orioles), ALCS vs Rangers, and went to a bar in the Bronx for the Yankees 09 series. Also went to the parade that year. So I've done pretty well.

I've got that one down. Four times technically.
Threw one in high school, had a teammate throw one in high school, and had one thrown against me in high school.
The one legitimate one to actually put on the bucket list was this Kane County Cougars vs West Michigan Whitecaps game in 2003. Kane County's pitcher threw it.
As for an MLB one, I don't think I'll ever see that.

I was 2 outs away from seeing a perfect game thrown at the Brewers several years ago. Even the Brewers fans I wad with were rooting for it because who doesn't want see a perfect game in person.
