Answer 6

My family and I were at a Peoria Chiefs game in Peoria, Il.years ago when a fly ball came over the net heading right for my three year olds head. As I covered her head my husband reached up with his beer cup and actually caught the ball in the beer cup. We all got wet from beer, but no one got hurt, we still laugh about it to this day. The team owner signed the ball himself as we left the ball park and mentioned he saw the whole thing.

P.S. The Peoria Chiefs are the "farm team" for the Chicago Cubs and their coach for his second year is Ryan Sandberg, Go Ryan!!!

Answer 9

Around 1958.  The series between Milwaukee Braves and the Yankees. Black and white TV, Gillette ads every two minutes; but what a roster of legends on that field - some that already were legends and some that would become them. Stengel, Berra, Mantle, Kubek, Spahn, Richardson, and of course, Aaron.  "Nuff for ya?!

Edit - I was delighted to see the youngsters piling in on this. On "the field of Dreams" you snag whatever ball comes your way and whenever it came.

Answer 16

I grew up as a Tigers fan.  So I pick two memories from those days.  One, the first Tigers game I ever attended in 1966.  Al Kaline hit a HR in the 7th to win the game, 1-0.  Second, the 68 Series in which the Tigers came back, as they had done so much that year, from being behind 3-1 to the Cardinals to win.
