    My first ML game was in CA when I went to see the California Angels back in the '90's.

    From what I remember, it was Sox/Indians with Vaughn Eshelman on the mound in 1995 (Sox/Indians).

    That's pretty much all I remember

    My first game was in 1990 when I sat in the yellow seats at Riverfront Stadium with my aunt and uncle.

    One of my next games was Game 2 of the '90 World Series, one of the best World Series games of all-time.

    Mine was at the old Vet Stadium in Philly. It was about 10+ years ago so I don't really remember much.

    my first game was i think fourth of july weekend back in 89, all i remember is my parents saying "the first game we took you to, you cried like a mofo when the fireworks went off afterwords."

    the first i remember was a double header between the jays and the reds IIRC back in 95, or early to mid 90's. larkin homered in both games. it was great.

    My first and only big league game was in mid July 1998. Blue Jays vs. White Sox.
    Bad news Jays lost. Good news i got autographs from Shannon Stewart and Kevin Brown (haha kevin brown). Also while the sox were practicing before the game some sox player threw the ball and i got it...yay.

    After 8 years i'm coming back to toronto to watch my 2nd game.. Woooh..
    Also i'm going to Cali this year and i might go to a dodger/angel game.

    My first game was August 29, 1998. I remember it as Jose Lima was on a rampant pace that year and his record going into the game was 13-6. This was also the year Randy Johnson was acquired by the Astros. It was Jason Schmidt pitching for the Pirates and the Astros won 6-3.

    It wasn't my first one (I went to a few earlier in the year) but probably my most memorable one.

    Padres vs Phillies, September 3rd, 1989 (I was 8 years old)

    Andy Benes' rookie year and he was pitching that day.

    Andy Benes was up to bat and I remember yelling for him to get a hit (Because I knew pitchers weren't good hitters, so I was hoping for a "lucky single") and, instead, he hits a home run!

    Padres won 9-5

    I was also an inch away from catching a Tony Gwynn foul ball, but it went right by my glove.

    Don't remember the year but Larry Walker hit a go ahead homerun against the pirates, when he was still with Colorado. The funny thing about it, fireworks were set off by the pirates after his homerun. Whoops

    My first game was when I was 4 years old or almost 4 years old. It was of course at Fenway and I really can't remember who the Sox were playing that night.
