Well the easy answer is the best kind of baseball is the game you are at… but given a choice, and taking the cost into account, would the fans on this site prefer to go to:

A Major League game

B Minor League game

C College game - including summer leagues (ala Cape Cod)

D High School game - including summer travel ball

I have to say that up until about 5 years ago, it was no question for me - a major league game (A).

In the last few years, I find myself drawn more and more to the high school and college games (C + D). I was lucky enough to have a son who is a fine baseball player - and as a result I have travelled with his team all over the country, playing and watching some of the best high schoolers in the country. Given a choice of tickets to watch the Giants play the Mets the next 3 nights at Shea - or tickets to watch the 17U WWBA event in Atlanta - I think I would go to Atlanta.

What about the others on this site? What would you prefer?
