It depends where you sit. I used to travel a lot for work and went to a lot of baseball games in other cities ( I am also a Yankee fan).\n\nIf you sit in the GREY POUPON section meaning the expensive seats near the field, you will probably be OK as a lot of those people go just to be there because its the in thing to do and they arent really die hard fans.\n\nIf you sit in the cheap seats you will most likely be amongst more of the diehard type fans who might take exception to you. \n\nBut even if they do, thats why they have ushers and the usher will tell the people to leave you alone or kick them out if they throw anything or keep swearing at you. \n\nThey (the ushers) have to, its their job to keep the area safe for everyone. If not they could lose their job.\n\nGO FOR IT AND WEAR YOUR JERSEY PROUD

If you get there early (you're probably looking at getting there around 6am for a 7pm game) you can get some at the ticket window. The Sox release some tickets before every game. You can also check EBay or Craigslist. If you still come up with nothing, circle Fenway a few times a couple of hours before game time. You'll stumble across at least half a dozen scumbags muttering something about tickets. Those are scalpers. They'll bend you over and rape you when it comes to prices, but if you're desparate, they're there. It's not legal, but the cops look the other way.

Hmmmmm.......not at the stadium? That's different. I had my baseball cap on and my foam finger in hand and my baseball glove in the other. I was soooooo ready for a day at Fenway! But at home we could still have fun. Be sure to write out for her all of the players......who is who. And talk her though the game. Share your enthusiasm with her. Your delight will be contagious. If she sees how excited you are by the game, she is sure to catch on will equal enthusiasm. I have no doubt that you both could enjoy this date more than anything you've ever done. (*cough* as long as you are for the Red Sox that is *wink*) Good luck!

Visited Miller Park last May and you gotta see the sausage race during the 7th inning stretch...it's a beautiful stadium so get their a little early to take some time to walk around...good food, lot of food/drink options, doesn't appear to be a bad seat in the stadium

I'm from the Bay Area and was staying in the city last year and the Yankee's were playing Oakland and stayed at the Renaissance Park 55 Hotel where I was staying.  There was a line of fans outside the hotel at midnight waiting for the bus to arrive.\n\nhttp://www.parc55hotel.com/

Yes, managers and bench coaches are required to wear regulation uniforms.\n\n3.15\nNo person shall be allowed on the playing field during a game except players and coaches in uniform, managers, news photographers authorized by the home team, umpires, officers of the law in uniform and watchmen or other employees of the home club.

well, you would want to get tix in sec 129-140 on the first base side or 104-116 on the third base side unless you have the money to get the box seats on the field or the bullpen seats but they are way expensive..if you don't get a foul ball you can buy a cubs ball at many of the vendors or in the park, and go out on clark almost to Waveland just pass the Mc Donalds where the players park and there is a fence there they sometimes come there to sign depending on the weather. I also have a friend that works for security at Wrigley...

Look, if you can be gutsy about scalping, take the Red line L to 35th or walk along the park to the train stop. You won't be alone, there's tons of ballpark traffic. It's a block walk from the park. \n\nKeep an eye out and you'll see scalpers by the truckload. (Fakes are made for Cubs and playoff games, so don't worry). If you can negotiate, you can get great seats for face value or even up to 20% less. CPD ain't stupid, but step away from pedrestian traffic so you don't embarrass them into arresting you. \n\nYou'll be fine. Good luck!

Assuming you mean from living people, the first key is to be polite ... very, very polite. Don Mattingly, a former Yankee player and current coach, always said he would sign autographs for people who were polite and asked by calling him sir or Mr. Mattingly, but tried to skip over the people just yelling sign this or sticking things in front of him. Even if you are just writing a letter, be polite and your chances of getting a response improve greatly over going in the trash can. Letters can generally be sent in care of the person's agent or, in the case of athletes, team. Address info for both can generally be found online.\n\nThe next thing is to look and see if the person has an exclusive autograph contract with any companies. Usually, that means they won't sign anything, anywhere unless it is in conjunction with an event set up by the company they work for. Usually there is a pretty steep charge (anywhere from $25, $50 and up per autograph) and it can only be done on approved merchandise (usually made by the company they work for, such as Upper Deck only allowing Upper Deck trading cards to be signed). If this is the case, watch the websites of the player and that company to see if there are any signings in your area.\n\nThat will get you started ... good luck and good hunting.

Doug, any hotel in the downtown Seattle area will leave you with no more than a nice walk to Safeco (if it's not raining!).  I advise avoiding anything else unless you want to drive or use public transportation.  Among closer hotels, I know the Alexis is an excellent place.  Here's a link from Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau that will help you choose a hotel.  I hope you will find helpful.\n\nAs a fellow Mariners fan who lives far away from them too, and has seen a few games at Safeco, I only hope you will have as good a time as my wife and I did.  It is an extraordinary ballpark in an amazing city.  Go M's!

Man....for the first time, I watched a Celtic v. Hearts home video of a fight between these....(for fear of being shot, i'll say crazies)...crazies.  These guys left guys laying in the street.  We thought things were rough in the states when cars are turned over and cars set on fire after a championship celebration (note: This only happens in some cities, not all....not even NY!).  Well, that violence to want to hurt a rival fan is sick.  I can't imagine Yankee and Red Sox fans ever meeting to go fist to fist.  It's a joke.  Those guys should face heavy jail time to detur it from happening more often.

I wouldn't be surprised at all.  Mickey was loved by the Yankees and fans alike....there would've been several hours between games of a double header.  It's possible.

And BOY does that PISS me off!!!!!!!!!  I have been an extremely loyal Sox fan for 35 years.  I have been through all the good and bad times, have been one of the few that still went to the park when they were losing, have supported them through thick and thin and finally received my due last year.  As far as I'm concerned anyone who hasn't been there as I have can GET THE HELL OUT OF MY PARK!!!!!!!!  Don't want you there and don't need you there.

I love the fact that all these people just happen to know whether or not 750 MLB players wear a protective cup.  For the record, I'm not going to hang out in all 30 Major League clubhouses to find out either.

They Would look stupid sitting on the bench Naked ...\n\nOk, here goes - I do believe it is a tradition thing - back in the day managers also played as well. From a practical standpoint baseball is played outdoors on a field with dirt as a component, in the summer so I do not think a suit would hold up very well. \n\nI would not be surprised however to see a shift in the not so distant future to managers and coaches wearing co-ordinated and officially licensed MLB gear like their counterparts in the NFL do. The reason for this shift would of course be money. Reebok, Addidas, Nike and whoever would compete to be the licensee for offical MLB dugout clothing. This would then also allow this gear to be sold and marketed to the generall public as such with MLB getting a small cut I'm sure.\n\nJust my opinion
