[quote="Bammer"]Stadiums visited: 4 - granted 1, was for Pearl Jam concerts, and the other, St Louis, I visited, when the Cards weren't there, and I was in town for an Ed Ved concert, the other 2, County Stadium and Miller Park, so really ive only been to 1 teams stadium to see ball games. Cities visited: Just Milwaukee for baseball States visited: 1 Miles traveled: 88 per game Favorite stadium: County Stadium (bleachers for life at the old dump) Worst stadium: Wrigley Field (spend a 3 hour rain delay at a rock concert and youll know why) Most games you’ve attended in one season: I broke 20 County Stadiums last year Best position player you’ve seen: Hank Aaron, I was maybe 10? and Aaron played, what was most likely his last ever old timers game in Milwaukee. I can still picture him at bat, all 3 out fielders literally playing the fence, and Aaron getting a easy single to left. He might have been long retired and past his prime, but man did that make an impression on me. the standing ovation he got, the outfielders on the fence. Other than that, man, I could be a homer and say Molitor or Yount, but I gotta go with Ichiro. Best pitcher you’ve seen: Warren Spahn tossing out a few first pitches I'd probably go with Nolan Ryan Best fans: I watch a ton of baseball on MLB.tv. Oakland's got that one section in the outfield that rocks. Otherwise, I'm going with Japan. Watch Japanese games and youll know why. Someday I will go to a game over there. Most annoying fans: Cubs easily. For a team that sucked for so many years, their fans act like they were the Yankees Your favorite team: Brewers (and whatever team Molitor or Ichiro were/are on) Favorite rivalry: Brewers and Cubs have been within like 5 games wins/losses vs each other for almost their entire rivalry. Seen your team win a World Series?: I was 5 when the Crew went to the world series. I can remember watching games with my mother. The only other thing I can clearly remember that happened before that is my grandpa who passed away a few weeks before the series. Visited the Hall of Fame?: bucket list Seen a Hall of Fame induction ceremony?: No
What would your at-bat walk up music be?: Are You Experienced - Jimi Hendrix. Closer entrance music: Save You - Pearl Jam
I feel like favorite players needs to be on this? my top 5 - Molitor, Ichiro, Aaron, Jeff Cirillo, Ben Sheets
other highlights
Going to a handful of games during Molitors hitting streak (and sitting up and listening to the 40th game when the streak was over)
CC Sabathias first start as a Brewer, man, that place was ELECTRIC that night.

I was at Fenway for Chris Sale's Red Sox debut.
Its a pretty cool atmosphere when a team picks up a big name starter like that.
I still get a lil mad that Sabathia didn't finish higher for MVP that year. sure, he was 6th, but Braun was 3rd. What Sabathia did in those 17 starts, 7 complete games, 3 shut outs, SHOULD HAVE HAD A NO HITTER STUPID PITTSBURGH SCORE KEEPER. And I wanna say the last 4 starts were on short rest (might be 3 in the regular season and the first one in the playoffs) 1.65 ERA, 1.00 whip, He carried that team.

I attended 62 Cubs home games (including playoffs) in 2003. And then I met my now wife and we got married and had kids. Crap. I miss those weekend afternoons getting drunk.
I've been to a lot of the "older" ballparks (Wrigley, Fenway, old Yankee, County Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Comisky) and nothing, I mean nothing, beats Tiger Stadium along the third baseline or in the right field porch. God I miss that ballpark.

62 in one season is impressive.
I lived 5 blocks from Wrigley Field with virtually no responsibiliites. Now I'm lucky if I make 10 games a year.
Old Yankee - dozens of games incl playoffs & WS New Yankee - hate it Shea Citi Fenway PNC - prob my fave bball park; can't say enough about this place Philly's newish one AT&T Exhibition (Montreal) Fulton County (Atlanta)
- Rickey, Mattingly, and Winfield were always incredible for me to see as a kid. - Saw McGuire hit a moon shot at Shea during his Maris run in 1998. That was pretty awesome.

Coolest thing I ever saw was Bobby Abreu run out to the right field bleachers like Sammy Sosa used to. He had it down perfect. I don't know how fans booed him for that, I died.
I also knew the organ player for the white Sox as a kid. I stayed at their house sometimes and watched a few games from the organ box.
