The game I would want to attend is the last game at Tiger Stadium in Detroit. That game is the most important baseball game I have ever watched and although I attended the second to last game at Tiger Stadium this was the last MLB game that ever was played at Tiger Stadium. Today, Tiger Stadium stands vacant and although there have been some amateur games played there along with the movie 61 was filmed at Tiger Stadium, the stadium today sits abandoned and I since I do not ever see it being used again in the future, I think that the stadium should be demolished but the field should be preserved for future generations to play baseball.

If Mays and Aaron had switched and, had Mays played in County Stadium and then Atlanta's launching pad stadium (hey, in one year, 4 different Braves each hit over 40 homers) - then we would be talking about Bonds chasing his godfathers' record !!!

No, the sport has spread enough that the USA would be slaughtered by a team of World All Stars.  The World Baseball Classic is different because each nation has some players but to consolidate them all against the USA wouldn't work so lets stick to NL vs AL.  I don't care for the homefield in the WS stipulation though.  The team with the best record should have homefield with the exception of a Division winner vs the Wild Card the division winner should always have homefield.

Dude, it's way too early to even think about that.\n\nAs a Tiger Fan For Life, I am just happy they are winning; and I am enjoying while it lasts.\n\nSeeing as how The Tigers haven't finished .500 or better for the last 12 years...it is refreshing to see them do so well.\n\nIF (and that is a pretty big word) they stay healthy I expect them to give the white sox a run for thier money.\n\nI am NOT saying they will win the Central Division. \n\nBut it would be nice.\n\nSeriously, a 2nd place finish would be awesome!\n\nWild Card? It could happen. With Toronto winning The East we wont have to play those evil yankees or evil red sox.

Unless something important or record-breaking happened then I don't think you can get it. It is a while ago and most places don't keep games from that long ago. Good Luck though

I care about it.  It's definitely not boring when you are in the stadium, and when you are watching good teams play.  In fact, the average score has been increasing for the last five years.  It should be more interesing than before.

sorry but theres nothing you can do about dreams park (i went there myself and it was pretty good). On the other hand some of my friends went to cooperstown all-star village which is pretty much the same thing. Or if thats filled up too u can always wait a year or two until you play at 90 ft, then ur team can rent out doubleday fiels to play on (u just have to bring along some otherteams to play)\nOther then that theres tons of other tournaments you can do, maybe not in cooperstown, but still really fun, try www.ectb.com for some tournament near you. ECTB is pretty good though, our team has been doing their tournaments for the past few years and every one has been awesome.

How is the Cardinal-Cub rivalry overrated?  The two have been rivals for eons, been in the same division since both were founded (both were in the NL East after 1969 and moved to the Central together when each league went to three divisions), and have played each other over 2000 times (Cubs led the rivalry at the end of last year 1037-998).\n\nHow do you say that a team that only came into existence in 1962 compares with that?

No they have to wait another 88 years!!!!  2004 was a fluke!  How does the wild card team get home field advantage over the team (Cardinals) with the best record in all of baseball? It's just not right and yes I'm still bitter.  That All-Star game rule is whacked and it needs to be scrapped!

Fenway Park in Boston is the oldest stadium in major league baseball. It opened in 1912. Wrigley Field, in Chicago, didn't open until 1914.\n\nFenway Park would be a pretty safe bet for the answer. Nobody tracks foul balls hit out of stadiums.

What they mean is that when a baseball game doesn't sell at least a certain number of tickets to the game, networks have to blackout the broadcast of the game for areas close to the stadium.\n\nIt's designed to incourage people to go to the game instead of just watching it on tv.

People said the same thing about the Tigers and now look at them. They are a decent team for once. Just because a team is not doing well doesnt mean it has lost its fan base. If the fans stop coming to games, then things should be considered.

Didn't get to see many games this year. Though did get to see the Stro's and Cards late last year. Was kind of wierd, I was sitting outside the stadium on the rooftop looking through the glass at the game. The sound of the crowd still came though, and the silence like when Pujos blasted a homer. It was like watching him hit in a minor league stadium the ball wasn't even close to staying in the park. \n\nRefreshments were a two minute walk away, had the ledge to use for a table and tables all around. Nice breeze blowing so it wasn't real hot. Ballpark peanuts. Somehow they never taste the same anywhere you go except a ball park. \n\nThough I think my favorite game was the first time I saw Randy Johnson pitch. It was like he was handing the ball to the catcher he's so tall. The ball was in his hand one second, the next it was banging into the catchers mit, the batter looking as confused as me as to where the ball went :) Saw that game in the Astrodome. \n\nRemember as a kid watching the O's play in Baltimore. Was the first reguler season major league game I'd seen live. I'd seen exibition games, once saw Paul Molitor make an awesome leaping catch as a second basemen for the Brewers against the Dodgers in an exibition game. In that game there were at least 4 future hall of famers playing. Yount and Molitor were the two who really stuck out. Sutton didn't pitch that game but he was there, so were a couple others.

Two games comes to mind:\nGame 7 of the 1960 World Series or Game 6 of the 1993 World Series. Both games were World Series clinchers won by Home Runs and both were exciting games. Both were historic as well as Bill Mazeroski is still the only player to hit a game winning home run in a game seven. While Joe Carter was the first and only player to hit a come from behind homer to clinch a series. \n\nPlus it was pretty good games as well. In 1960 the lead changed 3 times before Bill Mazeroski's home run hit his solo homer to left feild to win the game and the series. While in 1993 the Jays came out to early 5-1 lead before the Phillies scored five runs in the 7th to lead it 6-5 . And it stayed that way until the bottom of the ninth with Paul Molitor and Rickey Henderson on base. Joe Carter hit a three run homer of Mitch Williams to win the series 8-5.\n\nI'm sure there has been more exciting games, better played games or historic games. However I'm sure that all baseball fan onced imagined winning a World Series  with one swing of the bat, like "The Natural" did (p.s. the book that the movie was based from had "The Natural" Ray Hobbs actually took the bribe and strike out), Granted that none of us has, unless your name is either Joe Carter or Bill Mazeroski, being witness to it is one of the greatest feeling you can get as a fan.\n\n\nA Close second Harvey Haddix  near Perfect game. Haddix had a Perfect game going into the 13th ining. 36 up 36 down. But lost it in the 13th when the Braves finally break through in the 13th. When Felix Mantilla reached on an error. and Hank Aaron was intentionaly walked. Than Joe Addock homered but he passed  Aaron who was called out and Addock adwared a double to win the game 1-0. What was even more fantastic was that the Braves was stealing signs from the Pirates but couldn't get a runer on base for 36 batters in a row. And than only reached on an error and a walk.

Q: What was the longest game ever?\n-- MaceMan26\nA: On May 8, 1984, at 7:30pm, the longest game in major-league history began. Over the course of two days and 25 grueling innings, the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox duked it out for a record eight hours and six minutes. Both teams came within inches of victory on a few occasions, but their opponent always matched them blow-by-blow. Going into the eighth tied 1-1, Robin Yount and Ted Simmons scored for the Brew Crew. An aging Rollie Fingers could not hold the lead though, as rightfielder Charlie Moore's error opened the door for the Sox to tie it. Chicago then loaded the bases with one out in the 13th, but Marc Hill struck out and Dave Stegman fouled out to end the threat.\n\nBecause MLB rules prohibit an inning from starting after 12:59am, the game was called after the 17th and resumed the next day. Most returning fans thought the game would end quickly that next day, but instead it dragged on for another eight innings. Carlton Fisk ended an early ChiSox rally when he struck out with the bases juiced in the 18th. His failure in the clutch looked to be a crucial play, as Milwaukee tallied three runs in the 21st on Ben Oglivie's upper-deck home run. However, the resilient Sox refused to lose. Rudy Law reached on an error, Fisk redeemed himself by singling Law home, Marc Hill singled, Harold Baines walked, and Tom Paciorek singled home the tying runs. And so, the marathon continued.\n\nIn the 23rd, it was Milwaukee's turn to avoid a bullet. Chicago's Dave Stegman, who had been on first, stumbled as he tried to hold up at third after Paciorek's single was bobbled, then quickly recovered, by outfielder Rick Manning. As he lost his balance, Stegman brushed up against third base coach Jim Leyland. Since contact between coach and runner is prohibited, Stegman was called out. The next batter singled, but was later stranded. The Beer Men weren't so lucky two frames later when Baines mercifully ended the affair by jacking one over the center-field fence for a 7-6 win.\n\nTom Seaver, making his first relief appearance in eight years, got the win. He then pitched 8.1 innings in Chicago's regularly scheduled game that night, earning his second win of the day. Chuck Porter took the loss. Though it will still go down in the annals, it turned out that this game meant absolutely nothing to either team. Milwaukee and Chicago combined to finish 59 ½ games out of first place.

I believe this is the final year of the contract with the company for the use of their Umpire Information System. Only 10 stadiums/fields use the system Angel Stadium of Anaheim, Chase Field, Fenway Park, Jacobs Field, McAfee Coliseum, Miller Park, Minute Maid Park, Shea Stadium, Tropicana Field and Yankee Stadium. If the service is retained(contract renewed), most likely all stadiums/fields will be provided the service, as has been discussed and promised.
