It was a moment bigger than a game, which the Dodgers won, 5-3, against the Boston Braves, with Robinson going 0-for-3 while drawing a walk and scoring a run. It is considered by many to be one of the most significant moments in the civil rights movement of the United States.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-1\" class=\"gallery galleryid-85 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon portrait\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/2017\/04\/03\/opening-day\/jackie-robinson\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/04\/jackie-robinson-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"jackie-robinson\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>4.)\u00a0<b>April 14, 1910<\/b><br \/>\nPresident William Howard Taft became the first president to throw out the first pitch on Opening Day at the Washington Senators\u2019 game against the Philadelphia A\u2019s. Twelve presidents have continued that tradition. In 1950, Harry S. Truman became the first president to handle the honors by throwing a pitch both left-handed and right-handed. In 1984, Ronald Reagan became the first president to deliver the pitch from the mound.<\/p>\n<p><b>3.) April 16, 1940<\/b><br \/>\nBob Feller, 21 years old and in his fifth big league season, pitched a 1-0 no-hitter against the White Sox at Comiskey Park for the first of what would be a career-best 27 wins by the Hall of Famer. He walked five and struck out eight. Rollie Hemsley\u2019s two-out triple in the fourth inning drove in Jeff Heath with the game\u2019s only run.<\/p>\n<p>2.)<b>April 4, 1974<\/b><br \/>\nIn his second at-bat of the season, Braves outfielder Hank Aaron unloaded the 714th home run of his career off Reds starter Jack Billingham at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati, equaling Ruth\u2019s record. Four days later, in the Braves\u2019 home opener, Aaron connected off Al Downing of the Dodgers for the record-setting home run.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blurb\">\n<div class=\"default-styles\">\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/04\/download.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-92\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/04\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/04\/download.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/04\/download-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1.)

Finding Tickets<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do some research before you spend your hard earned money on tickets. Wait to purchase tickets until you have searched high and low for the best deals. Look far in advance for any promotions, giveaways or ticket deals to take advantage of. Finding out valuable information about the stadium, seats, bathrooms, food, sun position are all key factors to finding the best seat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-50\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download2-300x158.jpeg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download2-300x158.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download2.jpeg 309w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.) Prepare for the game<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Its usually a long day at the ball park, the best thing you can do is prepare for it. Having a good breakfast and staying hydrated can allow the day to move a lot smoother. Remember you are not the only one at the game, there will be long lines for everything! Ontop of the long lines are\u00a0high concession prices. Having a big meal, and drinking water will help avoid these lines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3.) Dress appropriately<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When attending a baseball game it is a good idea to keep an eye on the weather. Dressing for the weather will keep you safe, comfortable, and allow you to watch the game in peace. Remember its a baseball game, not a fashion show. Wear comfortable shoes, avoid wearing white, and support your team. Do not be left out, put on your favorite ball clubs colors and cheer them to victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download-11.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download-11.jpeg\" alt=\"download (1)\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4.) Proper Etiquette<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remember you are at a ball game and there are certain written (&amp; \u201cUnwritten\u201d ) rules you need to follow to please the baseball gods. Yelling is not optional, the ground is the only place to spit, its okay to tell the ump how you really feel, stealing is encouraged, &amp; the seventh inning is for stretching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/60e9e1717d2e6caab1247d541e85a496-original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-54\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/60e9e1717d2e6caab1247d541e85a496-original-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"60e9e1717d2e6caab1247d541e85a496-original\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/60e9e1717d2e6caab1247d541e85a496-original-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/60e9e1717d2e6caab1247d541e85a496-original.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>5.) Plan for traffic<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As I mentioned earlier you are not going to be the only one at the game. You should plan for a steady amount of traffic after the contest is over. Instead of sitting in line angrily smashing the horn; Use this time to tour the stadium, take pictures, and shop. The lines will be shorter and often you will have a better experience after the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download-21.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/files\/2017\/02\/download-21.jpeg\" alt=\"download (2)\" width=\"269\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"postinfo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/2017\/02\/19\/take-me-out-to-the-ball-game\/#respond\">No Comments \u00bb<\/a><br \/>\nFiled under: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/category\/baseball-games\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Baseball Games<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/category\/tips\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Tips<\/a> | <a class=\"post-edit-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/brewcitybaseball\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=31&amp;action=edit\">Edit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tailgate Tips Posted on February 17th, 2017 by Chase Morrison Before\u00a0the game starts here our my 5 TAILGATING TIPS\u00a0for the parking lot party! 1.)
