I wouldn't bring him if he wasn't into the Phils. I haven't let him get into video games; if a kid is sitting there playing video games, that means that he doesn't really want to be there... I wouldn't force my kid to come to a game... but if he's coming to a game and he wants to eat some cotton candy, I'll buy him some. It's part of the experience. My point is that phans are created early... if I make it a privilege and an event, hopefully they will want to come with dad when they're old enough to understand the ins and outs of the game. If he doesn't really want to come, he doesn't have to... we bring the twins to take some pictures and because it's something to do. Like I said, they're sole purpose in life is to terrorize but that doesn't mean I have to board myself up at home. We try to take them out... I will say this; nothing pisses me off more than catching looks from people (usually old people) at a restaurant. Two year olds aren't perfect... get over it.

It's possible that they leave him in the minors to see if he can pitch 7 or 8 innings, but both Pedro and Amaro have said that he is ready to get out major league batters.

I have three boys (a 6 year old and 2 year old twins) and partial season tickets and although most of the time, my wife and I leave them at home with a sitter (or just bring the oldest) we try to take all of them at least once a year... needless to say, they're certainly NOT interested in the game. My oldest is mainly there for cotton candy and the phanatic. The twins are there to cause havoc (that's their aim in every facet of life, it seems). Regardless of how stressful it is, I still love taking them to the game. Taking my oldest is always fun... we usually come a little late (2nd inning) and spend some time walking around the park. We usually take our seats by the 4th inning with food in hand (that keeps him entertained for a while)... we take a bathroom break around the 7th (grab a snack) and watch the 8th/9th together. It's well worth it just for those one or two innings that he's actually interested in the game. He is a Phillies Phan... he ADORES Jimmy Rollins and wears Phillies shirts 4 out of 5 days of the week. He knows the batting order better than most people and he does a wicked Harry Kalas impersonation... he's been coming to Phillies games since he was a wee little guy and it's worth it.
