When I was a kid we went to Cardinals baseball games often. Like you said it was a lot cheaper then. Plus the team gave away "Straight A" tickets so between my sister and I we got those as well. She wasn't much into it; it was my mom's and my thing. We took the kids when they were little a couple of times. The only other professional sports thing I've attended as an adult was a couple of Blues hockey games. Booooring.
My uncles and cousins got me into baseball in a big way. My dad only followed boxing with any enthusiasm.
But when I could literally walk to the ballpark anytime that I wanted, it wasn't too hard to see plenty of games.
As I said, tickets were a dollar from when I was a little kid right through college. I could find that under the sofa cushions.
