My brother is probably the one that got me into collecting. He used to have a binder that he used to take to school to trade with his friends. I remember my neighbor brought over my first binder of basketball cards that her kid didn’t want anymore. It was full of early 90s cards and had quite a few future hall of famers but her kid took out all the Michael Jordan’s except 1 that I still have to this day.

just crossing by a baseball magazine with the introduction of baseball cards, got some packs for my birthday and got an Eric Jagielo auto, that got me in to the hobby! So really thank my dad for these packs!

My parents bought me packs of cards at the Ben Franklin store for making good grades. That was my start.


My dentist bought himself a boat. He named it the Tooth Ferry.

My favorite stadium that I visited was Target Field in Minneapolis MN. I really liked the layout of the stadium as it was really easy to get any food or beer from the vendors as they were in short walking distance around the whole stadium. The staff there was very helpful in any questions that we had and the seating was really good wherever you sat in the stadium. After visiting there I would definitely go back there again.

My favorite stadium I’ve been to is the current Busch Stadium. I’ve been to the old Busch Stadium and Kaufman Stadium. My favorite stadium I played in was at Wichita State and Lawrence Dumont Stadium. Thanks!

Awesome! I went to Lawrence Dumont a few times. Had some character the old scoreboard was neat but the the seats were not very comfy and the foundation was crumbling. Went to plenty of games at Eck Stadium as I was a photographer for the Wichita State newspaper and I was the main baseball photographer

Favorite stadium is Kauffman Stadium. Very relaxing and family friendly. They better not move to a downtown stadium. Also liked Pittsburgh and San Diego.

I agree! While not in a very built up area with nothing around it I will still take the stadium in the middle of nowhere because it's the parking that makes it. Downtown stadium=no parking and that means no tailgating, which is what Kansas City stadiums atmosphere is all about. I've also been to San Diego. It is probably my favorite that I visited

One of my favorite stadiums to visit was Tucson Electric Park (think it has a new name now) in Tucson. The Diamondbacks AAA team played there and I went to a ton of games in middle school/high school. Tickets were cheap and I was able to sit in the front row down the 1st base line in the outfield. Lots of fun with friends there growing up.

My favorite stadium I’ve been to is Chase Field. My first game I attended with my Dad when I was 6. (then known as Bank One Ballpark) and at first it was just something special I did with my Dad every once in awhile, but I soon fell in love with the game. Even after visiting 10+ other stadiums Chase field will always hold a special place in my heart.


Just for fun I’ll add the stadium I want to visit the most. And that is Fenway park. I love the history it comes with and would love green monster seats.

Thanks for the chance!

I want to go to Fenway too! I was supposed to go several years ago but my trip got canceled and I haven’t had an opportunity to get there yet.

I'm late with this but I'm still going to list my favorites. The old Metrodome is 4th Target Field followed by Kaufman and they are great or were great places to watch a game but my favorite is Wrigley Field. Unreal experience!!

For a chance to win this week's card, please tell me what is the most memorable game in your personal experience and why? For example, my most memorable game was the 2014 AL Wild Card game. It was memorable because I was there and it was the most insane and best game I have ever seen.

I’ll go with 1993 NLCS Game 1, Phillies vs. Braves. I was 14 and my dad surprised my brother and I with tickets to the game. He was only able to get two tickets so he dropped us off at the Vet. Schilling struck out the first 5 hitters and I don’t think I’ve ever felt a place more electric. Then we win the game in extras.

I also went to Game 6 when we cliched the pennant and was there for the first part of the 2008 Game 5 rain game. But the 1993 team was special.
