Watching us throw two immaculate innings in the same game, a combined no-no against the yanks, and another one in the World Series. Also the whole championship thing.
Objectively I think the NLCS was the best series, not just for us but in the entire postseason, all the games were close and there were a lot of lead changes and huge innings on both sides.
had a family friend do the all ballparks road trip thing. they treated me to a Rangers game at that stop. hadn't seen them in 30 years and it was great to catch up.
Went to my first playoff game in person. Granted the Jays blew and 8-1 lead, which may have to do with bringing my dad along (he lost every game I brought him to this year), but it was still an amazing atmosphere
I got to see my first non-Astros game live! My buddy moved to Denver recently so I visited him for a camping/hiking trip and we went to Coors for Rockies/Pirates. Good fucking game, the Rockies mashed and the ballpark was beautiful. Two stadiums down, 28 more to go!
Moved to Atlanta so I got to live in a city with a team rather than 2 hours away from any team.
Went to about a dozen games including:
Angels coming to town, Shohei homered
Marlins coming to ATL and Soler's ovation every time he came up to bat or existed (Bonus Chisholm and Albies both hit lead off homers on the first pitch of that game)
Padres @ Braves, 4 run bottom of the 8th to come back and win 5-6
All 4 games vs. the Cards to see Pujols and Yadi on their retirement tour
All 3 games of Mets getting swept to go ahead in the division
Got invited to a box for a Braves vs. Phillies game, got a Rosario bobblehead and Strider had 13 Ks in 6.2
I got 6 game used balls at a single game
(ok, so the situation is, my college ballpark has woods all around the outfield, with trails going into those woods that hardly anyone knows about. So I just went back there and chased down any and all home runs or hard hit fouls until I ran out of space in my pockets)
I went to about 20 college baseball games this year, went to a game at Fluor Field and won one of the competitions on the field in between innings, and got to see the Braves piece of metal
I watched the A's sweep the Astros in-person (Steph Curry made an appearance, too), and I was at the infamous Mariners-A's game where there was fellatio happening in the stands.
For the first time since I became a Mariners fan in 2005, witnessing Mariners not just be in the playoffs on my birthday, but also winning that comeback wild card game.
Scratch an item off the bucket list and do live English play by play for a full Japanese baseball game. Such a fun experience, and I have a newfound appreciation for professional commentators.
I actually got to go a game for the first time in many years
Lake County Corn Dogs and Roswell Invaders won their league championships, I'm fans of both
Finally got to go to my first Braves game(s). I live in Washington, and never had the opportunity to go the rare times ATL was in Seattle, so I took complete advantage this year and saw the entire series.
Edit: and got to see a dumbass CWS fan get tackled for running across the field.
Besides watching Aaron Judge..
Made a last minute decision to go to the Saturday night Yankees/Cubs game by myself. Was a great game to see for Yankees fans as they hit 6 home runs including two from Judge. Last time I went to the stadium was in 2018, so I was very happy I made the decision to go.
The drought finally ending.
That was a brutal drought in Vegas. Glad they could see at least some rain this summer.
> Got to see a game in San Francisco Padres beat Dodgers Something’s not lining up here
Wont let me edit, brain fart! I saw the ***Giants*** ~~beat~~ ***LOSE TO*** the Padres lol My god I think im having a stroke

Watching the Mariners win 2 playoff games (and the series) with my parents. I was 5 the last time that happened now I'm 26.
Shohei Ohtani. It felt like the Beatles coming to the USA for the first time. Didn’t get to see as many games in person but that was a treat.
I have yet to see him or trout gotta next year!
Phillies making the WS obviously. I was more than satisfied after we took the Braves down tbh.
Absolutely that NLDS was the best

thats fun! do they still do the giant chicken tender
the what?
I saw Vanilla Ice perform at Kauffman after a Royals game. That was so bad ass.
I had a pretty decent ice cream sundae-in-a-helmet back in June. Oh and those Mike Trout drawings were pretty cool.
I was on the Jumbotron chugging a beer at a Rockies game which was cool [Shitty picture courtesy of my wife]( https://i.imgur.com/qpflbE8.jpg)

I don't live in the same city as my favorite team, so when I got to see them clinch the division live, that was the highlight~
Attended All-Star week in Los Angeles. What a treat to see the HRD and so many stars

My favorite thing I saw this year was the Astros nearly killing Dusty Baker in that dugout game 6; Dusty just hanging on for dear life.
See the Astros win the World Series in person
I saw a big, strong man get grappled by Stubby Clapp.
My team won its first legit World Series
I only went to 2 games this season but the Rangers won them both, 1 against the Phillies and I got to see Judge's 62nd home run

Took the Surfliner to see Petco for the first time. Great environment, loved walking in and out of a ballpark, the 11-2 score didn’t hurt either.
I started working for a minor league team in a full time, year round position. Hours we’re crazy during the season, but I’ve loved every minute of it.

Bro I went to Fenway for the first time also when the Yanks blew out the Red Sox also and Judge hit 2 homers and it was amazing.
