I just discovered this sub a few days ago. I don’t use any social media other than Reddit and YouTube (if that even counts) because of how commonplace misinformation and its resulting ignorance have become over my lifetime. And even here on reddit, I primarily only use this app to follow my MLB team and a tiny handful of academia-adjacent subreddits. So, it’s refreshing to find a digital community of likeminded, educated folk all in one little subreddit. It was you who helped me see through some of the hokey I was following on YouTube.

Glad to be here.

I went to my first Padres game at Petco Park tonight and had such a fun time! I was born and raised in Houston and have been a lifelong Astros fan (family tradition—and no, I don’t recognize 2017 as being a legitimate WS win). I live in California now and I have to say that the Padres team and fanbase have earned a very special place in my heart. The more I learn about the team, the more I like them. And seriously, I have been to dozens of games around the country and you guys are the friendliest, most wholesome fans I have ever encountered.

Thank you all for a great time tonight.

Let‘s go Padres!

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it.

Cons:

- I’d be driving from OC.

- The only tix available are in the upper 310s-320s.

- It’s be easily over $200 after tix and parking. (Me and my hubby)

Pros:

- Pride night 🌈

- It’d be my first time at Petco Park

I want to go but I’m struggling to pull the trigger.

What would you do?

EDIT: Thank you, everyone! I pulled the trigger. We will see you guys tomorrow!
