CC97 Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I found a site that lists every boxscore for every MLB game since 1972, some even with complete play-by-play.Retrosheet - Boxscore ArchiveSo I figured you guys could look up your 'firsts' the first game you went to, the score, etc... if you can remember the date or opponent of course! --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroseed Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I don't remember the date at all but I remember it was at Fulton County Stadium, and the Giants beat the ever-loving crap out of the Braves 14-1 on a day when it was about 104° F and 100% humidity. We sweat like there was no tomorrow, and they lost by 13 runs.That may be why I don't like baseball now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 My first game:July 22, 1998 - Blue Jays 4, White Sox 0WP: Clemens (8 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K)LP: Parque (nobody cares)HR: Canseco (27,3rd inning off Parque 0 on, 1 out)Quantrill closed the game out, but not a save situation.That was a great game... Roger Clemens shutout, Jose Canseco homer, saw it from about 20 rows up behind home plate.My second (and latest) game:June 25, 200 - Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 5 (13 Innings)Starting Pitchers:Pedro Martinez vs. Chris CarpenterWP: Matt DeWitt LP: Bryce FlorieHR: Stewart (10,1st inning off P. Martinez 0 on, 0 out); Batista (19,5th inningoff P. Martinez 0 on, 2 out); Delgado (27,7th inning off P. Martinez 1on, 2 out)13 pitchers total in 13 innings, a leading-off-the-bottom-of-the-first homer, a mammoth home run from Delgado, Pedro Martinez getting smacked around, an extra-innings win... what could be better?

habsfannova Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 Expos 3, Cubs 2I loved Stade Olympique. We went when I was 12. Great game, great hot dogs.Yankees 2, D-Rays 0When I lived in Florida for a bit. I liked the Trop too. But, the best baseball field in the world (In my mind) is Grant Field in Dunedin. I went to a lot of minor league Blue Jays games there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapshot Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I can't remember the exact date, but my first game was some time in August 1977 @ Fenway Park.The next game I remember was this one, Boston against Seattle, with a continuation of a suspended 20-inning game the night before.And then this one, on my 10th birthday. Boston won in the bottom of the 9th. I was bummed out because Glenn Hoffman, the winning run, wouldn't sign autographs. But my mother gave my glove to a security guard, who brought it in the Sox lock room, and I got Jim Rice's (my favorite player) autograph. I used that glove until I outgrew it at 14, and the sig has almost worn off. Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 wow, I don't even remeber my first game. I think it was in 1993 against Cleveland at Yankee Stadium. I was 5 at the time. I don't remeber the date not the score. In fact I'm not sure they played the Indians, they may have played the tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 First Game was a great extra inning affair against the Dodgers:April 20, 1985San Diego 4, Los Angeles 3 (10) at Jack Murphy StadiumWP: Rich "Goose" GossageLP: Jay HowellI remember this because the crowd all shouted "GOOOOOOOOSE" when he came in and I thought they were booing him and I got mad.Next game was July 4th, 1986San Diego 2, Chicago 1WP: Rich "Goose" GossageLP: Ray FontenotI remember this because Davey Lopes got hit to start the game and was wriggling around on the ground like he was dying. Being the young kid I was, I thought he was seriously injured so it had a profound effect on me. Looking at the boxscore I guess I got to see a rarity...Bruce Bochy hit a home run in that game.Both of these games were the only ones my dad ever took me too. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!

Discrim Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 i've never been to an MLB game and i don't even remember the first game i watched on tv. i clearly remember a bears playoff loss in 88 and super bowl xxii, but i don't remember the first time i really watched baseball...hm.last baseball game i saw in person(a high school game, and i'd just graduated), however, i had the good fortune of seeing a no-hitter...a somewhat sloppy one with a few errors and walks sprinkled in, but a no-no nonetheless.
