Best player you seen play live and or best game you seen live at the stadium.

I'm old so I saw a lot of players that are legends in the game. I remember the Cardinals but unfortunately while I probably saw many legends opposing the Cardinals in those years I don't remember them. But going to games in the 70's I probably saw many.

Best Players

Albert Pujols
Lou Brock
Bob Gibson
Ozzie Smith
Ted Simmons (newly inducted HOF member)

Most memorable

Probably Brock breaking the single season stolen base record. My dad took us down to multiple games so that we could see it.

(well that is interesting. I did not intend the big bold headings)

I would love a Ted Simmons card, he was before my time but amazing hitter and all around great player.

I'd happily take a switch hitting Simmons for my Cardinals team. Sadly most people would dismiss his card because he was not a typical power hitter. He'd be a good early in the game cycle catching option though.

Best games/moments I've experienced at the ballpark:

• Barry Bonds hitting #755 to tie Hank Aaron at Petco in San Diego.

• Deon Sanders getting a triple at Candlestick. Fastest man I have ever seen.

• George Brett hitting a line drive single to left-center, rounding first base aggressively, clapping his hands and slide-stepping back to first. (Oakland Coliseum, 1993). One of my first baseball games. The only time I saw him play.

• The Kansas City Royals beating the Los Angeles Angels in Game 2 of the AL Division Series 2014 in Anaheim. Hosmer hits a HR in extras to take the lead. This is my best moment, by far.

• The Kansas City Royals losing to the San Francisco Giants in Game 4 of the World Series 2014 at ATT in SF. Painful.

• That time an entire section of Angel Stadium booed me because I stood up and clapped for a solo shot in the 2nd inning from Royals catcher John Buck (while wearing a KC hat and t-shirt).

• That time an entire section of Oakland Coliseum booed me for catching a Craig Paquette foul ball (while wearing a KC hat and t-shirt).

I love baseball.

Dave Winfield in his prime. Saw him play the Mariners in 1982. Watched Billy Martin throw batting practice. I thought the Kingdome was the most amazing thing I ever saw. I missed seeing Gaylord Perry get his 300th win by a couple days I think. April 1982 I think.
