Yes.

[GD]

I never did, but my dad worked in concessions there during the summer during ball games.

[CHRIS]

Lots of games (I'm 40 now). Fondly remember the drive of 85.

[Ehjays]

my first game was Sept 1977

It was actually a doubleheader against the Yankees

 

We lost 3-0 and 15-0

 

back when reggie, Munson, mickey rivers, Pinella, guidry, Gossage etc all were with the yanks

 

Had a great time though

Yes so do I

 

I actually used to have 1 hr season reviews on video for each season from like 83 - 93

 

I'll look for them and if i find them I'll try to get them on Youtube if they are allowed

How do you expect him to know that pray if his join date is today pray tell

but everyone else does, the "making fun of you" is still valid

[Deadpool]

I went to one (that I remember). I remember that I ate a lot of candy and Junior Felix hit a home run. Also, metal bench seats.

 

For the record, the first Jays game ever was 1 year and 1 day before I was born.

Awesome first mlb games (despite the scores!)

 

Back when we used to have doubleheaders in Toronto.

 

Love the cast of characters on those '77-'78 Bronx Zoo teams ... ya forgot Sparky Lyle and of course Billy too.

 

Thurman was my favourite tho.

Yep, a couple.

[Jimcanuck]

I mostly remember brrrrrr! And, "Heereeee's Johnnnnyy!", and Garth Iorg stealing bases

[SAAviour]

Yup, once. I was on the first base side and spent half the game peaking out over the stadium at the fair grounds behind/beside the stadium.

[walkoff93]

Many times, used to love those $5 General Admission seats. If you got there early you could get some pretty good seats.

[G-Snarls]

All I remember (I was very young) was sitting in the right field bleachers, staring in to the sun, and could barely see. And seagulls. And Lloyd Moseby.

We know dude. We know. LOL

[Hipfan]

I've seen the Jays twice; once at the Ex circa 1984 and once in Ottawa (exhibition game) in 1993, iirc. Only been to Skydome once, for a Billy Graham crusade...still trying to make it there for the Jays, although the next time I see them will most likely be at Safeco, now that I'm on Vancouver Island.

in the early 80s, Dominion and A&P (the grocery stores) sold GA tickets for $2.

That's where I picked my seats up for the weekend series, 5 dollar GA must've been during the final years.

I did this very shortly, quit on the 3rd day, used my money for tickets, lol.

there were no right field bleachers at Exhibition Stadium

... or did you mean the metal benches down the right field line?

yeah, you're right the sun could be blinding.
