I grew up in Missouri, so most of my Giants experiences have been through the idiot box.

But in '03, I went to all three games when SF came to KC...Giants pulled out a victory in the second game. I believe it was Damian Moss that got the victory.

Still haven't found the time to hop a train to SF yet as summer is my "busy" time. Maybe someday. I do have tickets to all three games at Kauffman again this season though

I've searched the baseball-almanac website, with no luck. I went twice in the mid-1960's, and have probably conflated the two experiences in my mind.

1. I think I saw a doubleheader against the Cubs.
2. I'm sure the Giants won, I believe making a 12- or 13-game win streak.
3. Probably June, July, or August.
4. I remember pulling for Jim Davenport, who hit well that day.
5. I think Warren Spahn pitched.

Anybody have any ideas?

I know my first game was against the Mets in 1991, but I was four years old so forgive me if I cant remember the date or who pitched or even whether we won. I do remember my third-ever game pretty clearly though:

I didn't quite understand the ramifications of this at the time but this was the game we bumped the Evils from the playoffs. Probably the first time I ever got joy out of denying others theirs. SO proud of that

Midweek day game in 1989. Might still have my scoresheet, somewhere. I found one from 1991, but I'm still looking for the first one from Candlestick.

I think my first game ever was Bat Day at Yankee Stadium, June 11, 1967, but I have to ask the rest of the family about that one. I remember that the Yankees dropped both ends of the doubleheader, but I also remember that it was against the Angels. Well, they lost two on Bat Day in 1967, but to the White Sox, and they played the Angels on Bat Day in 1968 but won both.

In 1967 there were 62,582 in attendance on Bat Day, in 1968 56,614. I remember the traffic was backed up in all 5 boroughs of NYC, and that's probably not an embellishment.

There's the one. 1998? Dang, I thought it would have been a lot longer ago than that.

First one I remember, anyway.

Giants beat the Padres 18-1, Mike LaCoss pitched a complete game AND hit a home run.

Shawn Estes got the win, Nen got the save, Bonds hit #524 of his career when I was in line for garlic fries, they beat the bastard Padres. My first Giants game was a birthday gift courtesy of a friend who provided club level tickets for me and my then boyfriend. The boyfriend did not like baseball. He did not last long after that.

I can't remember the first game I've ever been to since I was probably in preschool then (1987?). However, the first game I can remember was from July 5, 2000 (My birthday!). I still have the ticket. Marvin Benard is on it. Giants win 4-2 with Joe Nathan (sigh) getting the win.

My uncle took me to this double header for my 9th birthday. The Giants entered the day one game behind the Astros for first place. The second game ended with a hard line drive right to Aldrete at first, stranding the tying and go ahead runs. 1st place flashed in huge letters on the candlestick scoreboard. Looking back at the box I now realize why I've always liked Randy Kutcher, he hit a homerun in the first ever game I went to.

I first attended a game during the particularly bleak era of the mid-70s. As bad as this year portends to be, it won't touch the years surrounding 1975; I honestly think I became a fan of the team because I felt sorry for them. John D'Acquisto on the mound, Chris Arnold and Marty Perez on the infield, Von Joshua in the outfield, faded green astroturf with patches of darker green replacement strips, that garish chain-link fence, and of course 40 knot winds...not exactly stuff one can wax poetic on. Oh, and they played the Cubs. Little did I know what brothers in arms those two franchises would become.

six years old. It was the first I remember. down in LA. Estes cleaned up, striking out 11 in 7 innings.

good game

The first ballgame I remember being at was in 1967 on a visit to LA - Bob Gibson beat Don Drysdale, which was seriously cool.

I know my first Giants game was in 1966, no recall of anything though. The first Giants game I do have clear memories of was in Montreal in 1969, the Expos' inaugural year. Mays and McCovey hit back-to-back homers, I was 10 years old.

But there are two early ones I remember. One was a Houston game at the 'Stick, probably around 95-97 or so. We were sitting in the Pavillion and Houston hit a batting practice HR which hit the signs above on the second deck. It bounced down and I got the ball. Still have it somewhere.

The second one was sometime probably in the same time period, don't know the team, but it was a game where the Moptops played a recreation of the Beatles last concert as it was the anniversary of it. (come to think of it, it was probably August 28 1996 for the 30th anniversary of the final concert. But remember more that there was a concert not the game.

I don't remember my first Giants game, but the first one I'm aware I was at was the Salomon Torres game in LA in '93.

The first one I have a clear memory of is this one. Marcus Jensen, you asshole.

Being a Giants fan: pain.

First time I've been to SF. Awesome game. Bonds hit a solo shot in the 4th to tie Mays' record for HR by a Giant in a season, then broke it in the bottom of the 8th with 2 on to give the Giants the lead, and eventually the win. Damn he was good.
