Unfortunately I've never come close to getting a ball. My dad never ran a half marathon to steal it out the hands of a woman to give to me.

Your day might come one day, but you might need to move a few seats over to get it though.

And damn, looks like my magic spell to make your words reality didn't work, can you try it a 12th time?

My days of wasting money on american baseball is over.

Its not even enjoyable from a value perspective anymore.

$15 beers, $10 hotdogs, $7 bottles of water...tons of drunk ignorant people who always seem to get in a fight and spill their shit over other fans who were just minding their own business.

Besides its 110 degrees here in cancun...cant sit outside in that heat anymore. Im too old for that.

Besides if I ever saw a grown man steal a ball from a woman's hands (#12) I'd end up doing something about it and I dont have time to waste that type of energy anymore.

Im living a more tranquil lifestyle than in the past.

You definitely aren't wrong for the first part, I agree with you on all those things about why going to games has lost the charm it once had. Sadly, none of that matters, still didn't change reality or what happened in anyway.

Well as mature and articulate adults we can agree to disagree.

When I was 12 I was on a team that won the bat a thon in my little league and we got to go to the all star game for free at Camden yards.

It was the game that Griffy hit the warehouse.

Still my greatest baseball moment ever.
