....any seat.
You have been offered tickets for any seat in the park. Which seat is your favorite?
And, are you lucky enough to have your better half enjoy the same vantage point?

Chill.....I'll take a seat up a few rows, directly behind the left handed batter's box.
And I am not whole.....I don't have a better half!!!???!!!

I've got 'Season Tickets' to all four of our players' games throughout the regular season and the playoffs.
My preferred seat is one of those collapsible types that can always be found year round in the spacious trunk of my old Chrysler LHS. The beauty of this seat is that you can actually move it (with minimal effort) to any part of the park that you desire. Almost always this would be right next to my better half but not always...weather related issues you understand!

Grateful....some would say you are better off!
We, (as in my other half) would like to be right behind home plate, just a few rows up.

I probably should not have posted it that way
BUT.... I am sure you are complete, all by yourself

Front row near the Pesky pole where I get to slap Sheff around.
Pitcher-Catcher Mom, ergo right behind home plate, several rows up.
I had my Worse Half removed a few months back, made me a much better person...hey, Gratefu, watch doin' Saturday Night?

Shea Stadium - 1st row - right over the Mets dugout - so they can watch me cry every inning.
LOL

Looks like we'll need to get there early - going to be crowded behind home plate and up a few rows.
Orlando - we'll just have us a row for the single guys and gals! Oh, and send me the "scoop" on Saturday night!

Section rz1 - wherever that is, is determined on who else is sitting there. It's best to watch a game with someone, but that someone has to be watching the same game. It sounds selfish but I do not want to hear about the sale at Pennys, what johnnie did last week, the fish that got away, or that great recipe. I ask for very little of "my time", but at the ball park there are some simple rules. Some people just don't see the games within the game. After the game I'll put my social butterfly wings on and soar with the best of them.
As far as the other half, let's just say that very often we have a different vantage point

Gotwood,
I use beach towels now - not hankys.
Lots of tears.
P.S. My wife couldnt care less. She just laughs - and eats the cracker jacks. LOL

Kohl's has a sale going on that Lil' Johnnie will be ecstatic about. In their sporting goods dept. they have fishing nets just the right size for that fish that got away from him last week. Did I tell you about that one... the one that got away? I sure hope he gets that new net and lands that big one because I've got this great recipe that I'm just dying to...

I'll bet Grateful is booking a ticket for Orlando about right now
Seriously, I don't know about everyone else, but I have little tolerance for chain link fences. Thus, I will stand in the outfield if it gives me a clear view of the field. Otherwise, I like off to the side of home plate.

You want me to pull any strings with Mets management and get them to pop for 'Beach Towel' give away night? They could monogram them for you perhaps!
One word of advice...don't ever cry on your wife's Cracker Jacks...they're just plain lousy when they get soggy...you want to keep her laughing remember.

You two have us beat by a year or so (or maybe not).
You better hope and pray that who ever makes Cracker Jacks doesn't decide to pack it in...because if they do you may have to do likewise!

Gotwood,
Despite my cyber appearance - I am no dummy.
I have five hundred cases of Cracker Jacks stored in the attic.
About another 20 years worth.

Behind home plate 10-20 rows up.
If son's pitching, pacing down the RF or LF line depending on which side the team is on.
Wife is usually by my side when son isn't pitching. When he is, she's (gasp) keeping the book (helps calm her nerves).
BTW, I could sit with rz1.

Duct tape will not be necessary. Remember I'm from WI and we're all armed, it's a right of passage.

I've got two arms also...nonetheless I still think it would be prudent to throw the roll into the ol' Chrysler anyway!
Seriously...please give me a call if you are down to watch UIC this spring. I'd be happy to watch a game with you.

It may be my sons last year there so I'll be down for every home series. Les Miller field is a great place to watch a game, with a great city skyline.
Gotwood,
herMETically sealed. LOL
Have you ever been to Shea Stadium?
Nothing is herMETically sealed there. Ever.
You just buy it - and eat it.
Then you see your doctor.
Lets Go Mets!!!

Arizonared.....we'll allow you and the other (better?) half to sit in the singles section (behind the plate, of course) as role models if you want.

I've seen my doctor(s) alot recently but never Shea.
Just buy it and eat it...right there at the ballpark huh? Do the owners know about this? There could be some good money in this I suppose. How about beverages?..like oh...say...beer for example...do you suppose they would be interested in that also...make some good coin doing that for sure! Can you say LiGue clan?..like in the Chicago LiGues!
Maybe I could swing the Cracker Jack concession...I've heard there's a guy from out of town...North Carolina I've heard... that is desparate to get his hands on as much Cracker Jacks as he can...heard he'll pay top. top dollar for it. Something to do with 'preserves'...must be a North Carolina thing?

As the name implies...I am right behind homeplate...but I see it is now been designated as the "singles section"...would much rather be seated there cause after 31 years of MARITAL BLISS I could use a little diversion
Great topic Val for a "slow" Friday

Our son is not in the battery...but we like sitting behind homeplate, because it's central to the action and we can see our second baseman just fine from there.......
