I'd doubt you'd get tickets for Yanks v Sox. Who we playing in september? You'll find it slow at first but when you start to appreciate the art of pitching then you'll enjoy it. When choosing games, look at the pitching match-up.

Wouldn't be too disappointed if I couldn't, just thought it would be a decent experience. Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles are the two home games in early September. Can get tickets for $5 so that's what made it really appealing.

On a side note, I'm looking forward to watching your beloved Giants too. And Man Utd. :wink:

Its a great experience if you just relax and enjoy it. Don't get all fidgety like a lot of non-baseball UK viewers do. It is good if you go with someone aswell, when we went there were two guys behind us that were making bets on what would happen in the inning and it seemed to be a good idea. Also if you make it known to people around you that it is your first game they will give you tips and info about the game. Yanks are decent people!

Yanks v Jays could be a good game, the Orioles have improved too so you may have got some good games with HR heavy bats on show. Tickets for $5? For the Yankees? I'd suggest paying the little extra to perhaps be in the 2nd tier or maybe the bleachers, there should be okay/cold weather. I'd suggest not going to watch the Mets, for a few reasons.

Yanks v Sox tickets seem to be impossible to get without breaking the bank and mentioning that you are stationed in NY would get the locals a little restless but the experience would be amazing at Fenway.

Just enjoy it and do the whole experience of buying hot dogs from the vendors etc etc.

Thanks for the advice. Will take it all on board. :thumb:

The $5 tickets were for the bleachers so will probably end up going for those.

Ash if you are in NY you could also go to a Mets game as there are 2 teams in NY not just the Yankees.

I'll say especially with MLBTV which will mean I can watch the game live tomorrow. You saying this prompted me to thinking about how difficult it was finding out information on the Reds after I first started following them. It was '92 (nearly twenty years ago, which I can't believe) when I went to see a Reds home game and have been hooked more or less ever since.

After I returned home I tried to see if there were any Reds games on the Armed Forces Radio & Television Network but could hardly get anything. With no internet the only time I could read about the Reds was if I ever bought USA Today so I kind of couldn't follow it. Once the internet was here it was a lot easier to learn but even then it was no more than a passing glance to see how they were doing. Since MLB came onto Channel Five that was it. I was back checking up on things and this has grown with better broadband and finally the arrival of MLBTV three or so years ago. Could follow regularly and even watch games on a delayed cast. Brilliant stuff. Amazing game.

It's got me thinking of heading out there to try and catch the Reds for a road game e.g. New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Florida, Chicago, St Louis (have been to Cincinnati and it's not exciting enough to go back to just to watch a few games) either next for my 40th or the year after as a twenty year anniversary from my first watching a game.
