It’s here! The sport known as America’s best pastime had its first pitch of the season this week. For all baseball fans I think you would agree there is at least one great moment that can associate with being a fan. In this month’s Huddle Up issue, we asked our Fanatics Rewards Club members to share with us their best moments of the game and this is what they had to say…

Moises D. – One of the best moment(s) of my life is to be with my nephew, Steven, at the Citi Field Stadium in NYC. Mariano Rivera, won the 500th Career Save on Sunday, June 28, 2009 against the New York Mets. We were invited by our friend Mariano R. and family to attend this great game and unforgettable accomplishment.

Jim B. – Right after the pirates played the Cardinals on September 5, 1998 my wife and I along with 8 other couples were married in a group ceremony the ladies all wearing wedding gowns, the guys in tuxedos (I wore my authentic pirates hat). We bought 83 tickets and rented a greyhound bus taking about 45, the rest drove their cars. A huge fireworks display (happened) right after the group wedding. We were spread out from 1st to 3rd bases with the Justice of the Peace on the pitcher’s mount. The Pirates paid for our tux rentals, 50% of the gowns, and gave $3 off each ticket plus a video of the ceremony, along with several 5×8 pictures and flowers for the ladies. One of the couples were renewing their vows on their 50th anniversary.

James T. – My best Baseball moment was in 1992. The Atlanta Braves were playing the Pittsburgh Pirates in game 7 of the National League Championship Series and Sid Bream slid in home with the winning run sending the Braves to the ’92 World Series. After that the Braves were a powerhouse and won the World Series in 1995.

Make memories this year with the best of the best MLB gear!
