Phil and my son, Josh, didn't take Kevin to many Tigers games this year. They have to pay full-price for him now and he seemed more interested in riding on the ferris wheel and eating soft pretzels than watching a game. (He's only 4 after all). He also is ready to go home to bed by eight.
And Phil and Josh want to watch the game. Every second of it.
Kevin must have overheard Josh tell his wife that this would probably be the last game of the year (we think) because when Josh was leaving, on the bench by the front door, was Kevin's Tiger hat, his Tiger shirt, a book about baseball and a Tiger ball--all thing he had located and put at the door unbeknownst to them.
Phil had bought him that ball when he was two--I remember him picking it out in the gift shop. A neat pile for the trip.
Kevin was ready to go but got left behind (sell-out and tks cost $110). Sad to me, but humorous to men apparently. I bet no women will find it so though.

Aww, sweet. I agree he's really too young to go but over the years we've seen parents bringing their kids of that age (boys and girls).
When Hideki Matsui was on the Yankees we used to see a Japanese family regularly, with a little boy about four. Sometimes he was dressed in full Yankees uniform with Matsui's name and number on the back. He was just adorable but I admit he didn't have a great interest in the rest of the game. They'd usually stay no more than 4-5 innings.

I saw one of the players youngish son watching the game intently and apparently he takes him to every game. Josh started going at six and he followed it avidly as well as other sports but four is different than six.
Agreed. The first season I remember at all I was seven.
