Major League Memorable Moment

Memorable Moments are moments worth remembering. One of my favorite memorable moments occurred when we took our son, Connor to his first major league baseball game. There is a wonderful saying, “Life isn’t about the moments we breathe – it is about the moments that take our breath away.”

Breath taking moments are found in the simplest, most authentic life happenings. Watching a baseball game through the eyes of a child is life authentic! The lights from the field reflected off his wide-open eyes creating little prisms of dancing color. The mustard from the ballpark hot dog dripped conspicuously from his uncaring chin. His mitt never left his four-year-old hand in hopes that a foul ball would head his way.

About the fourth inning Connor turned to his father and I and emphatically stated, “This is the best day of my whole life!” That memorable moment is cemented in my emotional savings account forever.

Almost all major league ballparks offer a wonderful service to preserve the memory of a child’s first professional baseball game. The Boston Red Sox offer a Fan Kit for first time fans. Many Fan Relations offices at ballparks offer free certificates wonderful enough to frame. Camden Yards’ Warehouse Fan Assistance presents first time fans with a beautiful certificate.

Just visit the office and share the news that your child is experiencing their first big game. It is a special way to celebrate a special day.

Are there other major league parks you know about that make that first game a true memorable moment?
