That’s a no no in Chicago unless it’s for your child.✌️

minor league games are also pretty good. cheap tickets and future stars. I used to love going to the paw sox games, only got to see the sea dogs play once but that was alright as well.

so true, Yankees fan here and the biggest thrill is walking into 3 Yankee Stadiums in my life, but nothing in my life will ever compare to my first game in the original CAVERNOUS Yankee Stadium. The surroundings/energy/players... it's an experience of a lifetime.

​@@slicked9778also major leaguers will rehab at the minor league teams to come back from injuries. So you can go see them when that happens and a lot of times they'll sign autographs after the games. Also my local minor league team opens the gates at the start of the eighth inning so you can just walk in and they have a firework show after almost all the games during the summer. Also I used to work at one of the higher end restaurants in my town and there were quite a few times where after the game the major leaguer rehabbing would take the whole team out and buy them nice dinners.

Regular season baseball is a pretty relaxed time at the park. Playoff baseball is super intense though! Nothing like it.

Last year (2023), 3.84 million people went to a Dodgers game. Other teams who saw over 3 million attendees were the Yankees, Padres, Braves, Cardinals, Phillies, Astros, and Blue Jays.

It's the right summer sport. It's mostly slow paced punctuated by moments of excitement so you don't have to focus in the heat and humidity. The foods are basically backyard grill stuff. It's hanging out during the summer.

Baseball is a game of endurance

I don't think I would have taken him to a baseball game. There long and noisy, I hope he survived alright!

😂😂😂

There will also be a checkered flag for when the baseball is over. Heh

there's no 'nil' either

thanks joe - I was wondering (PS - still upset about the peanut thrower not being allowed.. that was part of the game!!)

Very cool you were able to meet them all. And for helping them with info. Very nice.

What a good dude.

You’re a good man Joe! One that makes going to a game even better. Come to Comiskey Park. They can use your smile and courtesy. ✌️

In 1979 I was at a Cubs/ Phillies game that was 23-22.

@@TheRagratus You saw history, the only regular-season games in which both MLB teams scored more than 20 runs came between the same two teams and was played in the same ballpark. Chicago Cubs 26, Philadelphia Phillies 23; Aug. 25, 1922 Philadelphia Phillies 23, Chicago Cubs 22; May 17, 1979

Go Rangers!!!

Yea! Rangers!

Bit of trivia: Ron Washington was the manager of the Rangers when they scored 30 on the Orioles & he was the 3rd base coach for the Braves when they put up 29 on the Marlins.

You know us southpaws are going to take over some day 😅 my family is from nc too

Yep I went to My first Padres game years ago an it was great.

Of course, those people could just STFU, stop being trolling karens, and just enjoy the Beesley’s great videos, but I guess that would just be too simple. You’re hired if you promise to smack around at least a few karens per video. Not for the Beesleys, who seem to take those comments in stride, but for the rest of us who cringe whenever we see that kind of nonsense. 😊

@@MarkL1968 You 2 need to get a room.

I don't think they need another stalker. MarkL is bad enough.

@@edwardmclaughlin719 stalker? Nah, I just dislikes me some trolls like you regardless of whose comment feed they wind up on whether it be the Beesleys, or anyone else. People like you make it their mission to bring down somebody else’s good time.

@@MarkL1968 I have literally stopped watching the ones where they join the massive hoards of "KZfaq sensations" eating chain fast food. Ball park food is different. But imagine how much more interesting it would be to see what they think of non-corporatized food from family run, or at least locally run, "diners, drive-in and dives".

Yep only two delays this season for Rain.

Yep here in San Diego though the traffic going towards Petco Park Park on the North side isn't bad but it's the south bound side that it's Bad.

He didn't get confused; "Kicking off" is also an expression for "getting started"

Indeed…happy Father’s Day to James!

Yes! Happy Father's Day to James and all Dad's.

Stop the covi.d nonsense.

The best part of the game. 7th inning stretch.

They were behind protective netting, you can see the lines at 6:00. They would just have to look out for a foul ball.

Yes it's always good to pay attention at a baseball, hockey and even basketball regardless of netting or glass shield. Even at a basketball game if close to the court, one never knows if a giant jumps over or on y. 😅

What is your reaction to the play on the field?

The ball is going to sting like crazy when it hits unless you have a thick glove.

@@actadiurna6733 with a glove, it depends on the glove type. If a ball is kept in the pocket of a fielder’s glove, it won’t sting at all because the ball hits the pocket, not your hand part. The hand part is just for hanging on before release to throw the ball. First base and catchers gloves must stop maximum velocity balls, but usually don’t have to release as fast. There’s a slight delay in those gloves and they have more oil (or should to keep them supple) for better performance. However, as a result, after the play a ball used by a catcher will be inspected by an umpire to see if it’s oily and will be replaced if so. Some gloves absorb oil really well. Some won’t. Bringing a catcher’s mitt to catch fielding balls (foul balls) is the wrong thing to do. You’ll have less grip on impact. Using a fielder’s mitt, place the pocket between the you and the ball. When the ball hits the pocket, the glove, and your hand, will close around the ball automatically with no sting. Keep the glove closed and it’s yours.

MY rule for catching balls in the stands - duck, hide behind someone big, cover face. It's only a baseball - someone else can have it.

Phillies best team hands down

Phillies are the oldest, same named, same city team in all of sports. They also look way better in red than the Cardinals.

Sauerkraut.

@@SansAziza yeah that 😂

my first game - dodger stadium.. Drisdale vs Marichal

My first and only Dodger Stadium game was also the Dodgers and Reds in 1980. I was visiting my friend who moved to Anaheim. I was a Reds fans back then, but now I'm a Cubs fan. My first baseball game was the Reds/Astros in the mid-70s.

...ya'll...😂

Seventeen games

1929 isnt a real time, calm down. time started after we won WW2 everything else is as real as the bible

It wasn’t called Chavez Ravine! There were 3 communities Bishop, La Loma, Palo Verde

They get criticized for not using any or enough condiments and get criticized when ppl think they use too much.🤦‍♂😄

@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm Did you see the amount of mustard he put on that hot dog?? Literally 10x too much. Like i said you wouldnt even be able to taste the hot dog. That was gross

​@@user-wr9ej6xe4jThat's what I thought about the ketchup. I'm strictly a mustard/onion user. But I'm from Chicago.

Awesome. The expensive, field level seats behind your team’s dugout, or home plate, are really cool, but I like those nosebleed seats too. And Dodger Stadium _is_ the 3rd oldest, behind only Fenway & Wrigley, of course.

Only the if the other team is plagued with injuries, so the have their AAA replacements. Lol

25 runs is extremely rare in major league baseball.

Across the street from the Union station is home of the original French Dip sandwich.😉

Union Station has been used in tons of movies and TV shows over the decades.

@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm Cole's would argue with that statement.

@@ramonalfaro3252 ​ Like 10 years ago or so, the Thrillist hired Jackson Landers, a journalist and science writer who does research for stuff like this and he found that Phipps's Original had not only oral history, but documentation, firsthand interviews and newspaper print that supports Phillipe's claim to have originated the French Dip sandwich. Whereas Coles only had oral history that was spotty, passed down from owner-to-owner with no firsthand account and no documentation to prove their claim. Nothing in newspapers to prove that Coles started the sandwich 10 years prior. The original owner of Philippe Mathieu was also a French immigrant, and the French Dip name was a fashion term used in France before Phillippe immigrated to the U.S. Cole was a German immigrant.

@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm I've heard that, but I prefer Cole's either way.

Well back in the 70's many stadiums didn't have lights which was a Big reason why. Now a lot teams have tried to have earlier start times though and I think Wednesday and Sunday games have the earlier start times currently.

@@runrafarunthebestintheworld The Wed and Sun daytime games are nothing new. Those were the days I would go to see the Mets when I was in HS in the 70's. While I think that they always sold beer, I don't think it became a real problem until the 80's. I remember one game I went to with some co-workers during the Mets 86 Championship season and several fights broke out between drunk fans. I think it was around that time that stadiums stopped selling beer in the 7th inning. But to me the biggest problem with Baseball attracting young fans is the sheer cost of the tickets now - at least the cost in the big cities. Dunno if the tickets in the smaller cities have ramped up as much as they did in NYC but the main reason why I became a Mets fan in the 70's was the fact that I could afford to go see a game with my firends.

In the 80s, my husband and I hosted an English couple and took them to see the Cubs at Wrigley Field. The wife kept commenting on the number of children in attendance. Apparently crowds at English football games could be quite unruly. Not a place for small kids.

@@dianefreeman7194 He told me there's usually police on horseback and a large groups of police patrolling the area, due to holligans. I told him this is very family oriented. I know some new fathers who dreamt of taking their child to their first baseball game, hosted on their shoulders 🙂

@@KimKinzer the couple we hosted said they had strong reservations about taking small children to English football matches. The wife was especially astonished about the number of kids in the stadium. They had a good time at Wrigley.

Close, but not quite right. Yes, they sing at least one verse of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” every 7th inning stretch. What happens after the first verse varies by stadium and the day. Most days, it varies by stadium. Some play a different song after “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”, others sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” a second time. Since 9/11, they’ll sing “God Bless America” (not “America the Beautiful” [FYI, America not “American the Beautiful fyi] on Sundays and certain holidays or other special days (4th of July, Memorial Day, 9/11, post-season/All Star Game). For a short while after 9/11 they sang “God Bless America” every game, but for 20+ years they only sing it on Sundays and the above mentioned special days.

Traffic getting out of Dodgers stadium is bad though.

...ya'll...😂
