....that's right.

I wanted to on Opening Day, just to say that he went to the first Orioles game he possible could but with all the drunks, including me on opening day even I knew that was a bad idea.

I am going to get that paper that says its his first game ever and put it in a plaque.

Going to go into the game at 5pm unless he is still sleeping, he usually naps in the 3-5pm range.

Going to feed him, then go in. Say I get in there at 5:30, I will stroller him through the entire park, take some pictures in front of the field and so on.

Park the stroller, need to change him, feed him again at 7:30ish and probably leave around 8, but that depends on him, need him home by 9pm

Got a ticket in section 260, the only ticket (so far) sold in that section.

Why do all this? for the love of baseball damn it!....

If a foul ball comes up there we will be fine, his dad is a gold glove center fielder in his mens over 30 baseball league :)

BASEBALL, FAMILY, AMERICA

Took my 4 month old son and 4 year old Daughter to their first game last Fall too. Flew in for it from Denver.

It was perfect. Had seats up high in right field but only stayed there for the length of a box of cracker jack and a pretzel. Then it was pretty much flag court, bullpen watching, pictures with the statues, etc...

The park at night with the warehouse lit up and the field so green and the damp cool air... so nice. Jones went deep. Walker went deep. O's win. I'll cherish it for sure.

Enjoy.

I guess you know the stroller has to fit under the seat. Otherwise have that stroller area to put them.

The Orioles used to give this besides the certificate. Not sure if they still do.

it's your child's first game, you can visit guest services and they get a certificate and an envelope that has various other things (postcards, sticker, keychain, magnet).

I really want to take my kiddo to a game this season, but he or she won't even be here until the first week of July. Seems a bit too early to try to get to a game within the first 90 days, but I'll do it if my wife authorizes it. :D

Going with a four-month old is a lot better than going with a two-year old. They're not going to run off at four months, or continually ask you for junk food. Have a great time!

Yep, and once they are asleep there is no reason to leave. Stay to see Britton close it out if you want to, the baby won't know the difference.

You can get one also. Just tell them it is your first game at Camden Yards. Many stadiums do this.

Visit any of our three Fan Assistance Centers for a free certificate commemorating your first visit to Oriole Park at Camden Yards

Haha, I don't need one for myself. Just wondering to keep in mind as the better half of the KnowsBmore family and I are planning on little ones in the not too distant future.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By interloper · Posted

      I went to a few games this year, but here are the reasons I didn't go to the WC games: The team had been an absolute bummer to watch for 3 entire months out of the season and to be honest by the time the playoffs got here I was exhausted and annoyed. The brand of baseball they had been employing for half the season (over-reliance on the home run, terrible ABs, iffy defense) frankly sucked to watch, even on TV, and I'm already spending money to watch them on TV. I wanted them to prove they could get past the WC round before I shelled out more money. I imagine a lot of people share these reasons with me.

      ALWC Game 1 Attendance

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      People whining about 41k attendance and blaming it on the city have no idea what they're talking about.  Why were there 47k+ of Game 1 against the Rangers last year? Did the city all of a sudden not matter then? It was also a day game. Alas, it was on a Saturday. And they had that locked up for awhile. Why has attendance went up YoY? Look at the Astros and the Brewers. They had *less* people at their G1 games. Is Milwaukee not a nice city? Is Houston not a nice city?  This is pretty simple. It was a day game during a weekday with crappy weather coming off a pretty lackluster performance going into the playoffs. And folks didn't know if there'd even be a home game until, what, barely a week before?  People like winners. Miami is an awesome city. They got a new stadium when it first opened. But guess what? That team stunk in fairly short order upon stadium opening and attendance tanked.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      Would love to bring him back on a 1 year deal for anywhere from $3-$7m.  Great depth arm. Don't pencil him into the 5th starter role. This club needs to pickup two starters: a TOR arm and a BOR arm. Have an open competition for the 5th spot. If Suarez doesn't make it, he'd be a great middle reliever arm. Open competition between Free Agent, Suarez, Povich, McDermott, and Rogers. Do not just go into 2025 penciling Rogers into any role.

      What's Your Top Priority

      By Orioles West · Posted

      It's really tough to set a top priority when I don't know what the budget is. I think the new ownership group will be investing more than the previous regime, I just don't know by how much. I highly doubt the O's will ever be in the "spend whatever it takes mode" like the Mets a couple years ago or the standard yearly overspending by the Dodgers or Yanks. It's still tough to make my Christmas list without knowing the balance sheet. If we're the Dodgers, we keep Burnes and Tony Taters. Hopes and wishes it is then: Even if we sign Burnes, which I wouldn't mind at least making a run at him, I think we need another starter, because injuries and how this year went. Even if the Mountain returns healthy, we need high leverage help in the pen. Veteran bat - no idea who, but if Mullins and Santander leave, we will have to add someone -- I don't know that our prospects will be stepping up or stepping back next year.

      Who Stays and Who Goes Early Guess

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      What I like about Webb is he has an excellent changeup and can get LHB's out. Besides Felix, everyone else in the bullpen needs to be matched up. I think it is important to have another reliable guy who can be brought in to any situation. He is also cheap. I think he is too valuable to just give him away to another team. I like him better than Perez for sure.

      Bingo....I have said this before also. Wives of players are not clamoring to come near B-More. Factor in taxes and its a hard sell.
