Does minor league games count? If so, than no. I'm not a ball chaser, though I did get one once in 2006. It rolled right to me, I just stooped, picked it up, and heard a group "aaawwwwww" from the crowd of chasers. I still have that ball.

- I attend over 30 minor league games a year and I never take my mitt. I've gotten dozens of foul balls. Came close today, but the 3rd baseman made the catch in front of me :-)

- Why? The Cubs can't hit it out of the infield.

- I'd like to go because it is a historic stadium. I've been to Fenway Park and the original Yankee stadium.

  I'd rather see a game in Camden Yards or a park like SBC.

- SBC is so great. The only other stadiums I've been too are, Dodger Stadium, Oakland Colliseum, Miller Park, and I played in the Metrodome.

- Played in the Metrodome? Amatuer or pro?
  I've been to the Metrodome for a homestand once. I met many Twins players who played in AA ball.

  by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on May 1st, 2009
- In the winter, the Metrodome will host baseball games 24 hours a day for college teams mostly from the area, and other places where it's impractical to be playing outside in the months of February and March. I played ball at a small school in Wisconsin and we started a double header there at like 7 in the morning. Two days later we had a doubleheader that started at 10 at night. Actually I've seen a game there too. Saw Brewers and Twins last summer. But a lot of D1 teams from different places would come play there too and I think U Minnesota had their games there.

I would say it depends on where your seats are, and how much beer you drink. If your seats are in a prime foul ball area, bring a glove.

No. People tend to forget that these guys are PROFESSIONAL Baseball Players. They hit and throw the ball with a velocity that most of us can only hope for.

The best thing to do is get out of the way of the ball, bat, or whatever's coming at you.

No. It would a complete waste to do so. Also, it may be dangerous for me to bring a glove because if a ball came flying, people may assume that I was going to catch it, which is false. I would duck and scream.

Nope. It would be a pain hauling it around and keeping track of it. And then, when the chance came, it probably would be at my feet.

- That would be my excuse for not taking one also.

Yes. I always debate before the game whether to take it. While it sometimes seems to be a bother, usually it works out for the best. Not only can you catch balls with it if you're lucky enough, but it's also handy to carry beers and dogs (especially if it's a first basemens mitt), fun to spit into and smack, keeps your hand warm if it's cold. Keeps your beer cold if it's warm. The possibilities are endless.

- I never thought about all the benefits, thanks!

If I had one handy. I used to go to Marlins games when I was in Miami on nice days because it was $2. I don't really watch baseball, it's a bit long for me, but if it's a nice day out I'm all for it. Plus I get to trash talk, which is enjoyable.

I always get one of those disgusting hot dogs that you know are really bad for you, various nasty foods that I'd otherwise never eat, and some overpriced beer. You gotta do it up right, and I think a glove is part of that. That being said, if I didn't have one close by I wouldn't fret too much.
