[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking my baseball loving 6yr old to a MLB game next sat, and decided to get a sitter for my 3yr old. I just don’t think she is old enough to sit through it, and would be ready to leave after 30mins or just want to run around the whole time. I absolutely plan on taking her when she is older. My mom says it’s not fair we are leaving her at home, because plenty of people take their 3yr olds to baseball games. Am I being unfair to my DD? [/quote]

No, not at all.

DH has been wanting to take DD (almost 3) to a baseball game, and I've put my foot down, saying it's pointless until she's 5 or 6. Reasons:

1. She has no idea what's going on and doesn't care.

2. Because of #1 (and because she's 3), she's not going to want to sit in a seat for 3 hours. She's going to want to run around the concourse, which she can do at the playground.

3. She still naps (and yours likely does too) and goes to bed at 7:30pm. This makes baseball game times (1pm or 7pm) either right in the middle of nap or right at bedtime. Either way, it's a recipe for a cranky kid.

All of this means it's simply a waste of money. Going to a local baseball game where the tickets are really cheap and she can run around near the field is one thing, but paying for an MLB game where leaving means probably having to take the 6 year old home too (because you've driven there and parked, in all likelihood) is just pointless, IMO.
