RE: First homerun at your first game, who was it?
My first MLB game was Boston Red Sox @ Atlanta Braves on July 3, 2004, and the first homerun I saw was by Nomar Garciaparra in the 2nd. Red Sox won 6-1. Sad Here's the game recap. http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=240703115
I collect 1977-Present Baseball of any team, especially the Braves (NL) and the Red Sox (AL). Considering an expansion into vintage. I am slowly adding cards and wants to my org.

I've went to maybe 30-40 games since then and a couple AAA games as well

Not sure who hit the 1st one I saw but the 1st I can remember was probably Barry Bonds knocking one out in 07 to right field against my Bravos


My most memorable one was last year when I was at the home opener and Heyward crushed a 3 run homer in his 1st at bat into the back of the bullpen not to far from where we were sitting (The crowd went nuts)
I was watching that game on tv, he really did crush it!!!!
As far as my first homerun, I was at a few games at the vet but i was like 2 years old so i dont remember a thing.......... However, I do remember a Mike Schimidt homerun in dodger stadium back in 1987, Ill never forget it, even more watching Schmidt play!!!!

Twins V Angels at the Humpty Dome. Bobby Grich hit a homer I don't remember seeing but the Twins lost when Ron Davis blew a save. Surprise Surprise.

The first one I remember seeing was 2 yrs later when Darrell Evans Hit his 300th home run of Ken Schrom also at the dome... it apparently was at 3pm off of a 3-0 pitch.

Also yes D. Martinez did plunk Kirby in the face...although I still don't think it lead to his vision problems as it was his right eye that went blind.

Mine was Lee May, he hit two that game. The O's beat my beloved Redsox that game, but I got to see Yaz hit one out too!
