Never been to Chase Field but I did Spring Training in Arizona a decade or so ago. I drove by the park - now I'm glad I didn't go in.
If somehow I wind up with a lot of money and free time, I'll take in a non-Mets game, just to have a Churro dog and to go swimming in the pool. It certainly would be a different MLB experience from seeing a game in Shea Stadium.
I believe it is the younger, have no patience for anything generation, that does most of the booing. Us older fans understand that failing seven out of ten times makes you almost a hall of famer or at worst an all-star. Yes, let's boo a guy with a .255 bating average, an OPS of .845 and 8 HR. and 31 runs scored just because he is not putting up Aaron Judge numbers. $765 million buys just so much these days. And our whole group was a little disappointed that we did not get the nod to celebrate Big 15 with you guys. We will have to make a better plan for 20!!
Taryn:
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's too bad those Chasers didn't contribute to your 15th festivities on 5/5.
Incidentally, you and hubby have a bit to go before equaling our marital bliss, as we are looking forward to #37 in August
Also, her birthday was the day before, and she is still dismayed about that "May the Fourth be with you" business
Now I want a Churro dog!
