Cell Staff

Nice post Dazed..  Being that I have to live in MD, albeit no choice of my own, Camden Yards is a real nice place and have very friendly staff.  I am sorry to hear that guy being a jerk and wouldn't take your pic with your kid and all, but some people are just plan aholes.  I am in the Navy and been to numerous parks.  Haven't had the pleasure of visiting the CELL yet, but when the Kingdome was in Seattle, they really didn't have the best people working there as well.  It sucks when you end up spending over 100 bucs to watch a game, you can't get friendly service; good thing the majority of parks have outstanding service.  Your always going to run into "those" types from time to time...

GO SOX!!!

My experience is usually great...with one exception.  When they want you out of there, that's it !  We have stayed after for fireworks sometimes, and then on the way out, tried to use the restrooms.  They very rudely told us that we had to leave....now.. and that we could use the outhouses outside.  I have no problem with this, but the women with me were a wee bit pissed.  On another occasion, we went down to the bullpen bar after the game.  We stayed about an hour, and the announcement came over that it was closing time.  We both hit the restroom on the way out.  My girlfriend came out, and said that a male Sox employee went into the women's room, and was yelling at the women inside that they had to get out NOW.   We did register this complaint.

If you sit in the same seats, the beer guys are always very cool , and our guy will even comp us a round from time to time.  Concession service can be slow sometimes, depending  on who ya get, but at least I can watch the game on TV (unlike Wrigley, where you completely miss the game if you go for a beer or a pee).   If you get there early enough, you get 2 for 1 hot dogs too !  3 out of 4 people who works there are great, a few are slow, and obviously, there is a jerk or two.

Hey Snowcat, from your responce it appears you are also an irresponcible parent who wants people to " google and goggle " over their child.  

Workers at the Cell help out the parents only because they fear getting reprimended by their bosses when the selfish and ignorant parent tells on them because  their  poor little brat starts to cry.

One years old is far to young for a child to go to the ball park !   It's not only rude, the parents are being selfish because they ask someone to do something that they should be doing themselves and the main reason they are at the ball park is to see the game and brag about their little child.   What benefit of going to the game does the one year old have?  NONE !

Now that I explained that all to you, did you see Anderson's catch last night?  I think the vast majority of people would rather talk baseball on this board.

Well DJ, if you must know, I waited until my boys turned two until they went to their first game.  If that makes me "irresponsible," then so be it.  A LOT of parents, for one reason or another, take their small children to the ballgame.  And I'm sure that many parents wouldn't do that just to show off their kids.

Now I must reiterate, Dazed asked for the guy if he could take picture (a simple request).  I'm sure if he didn't have his hands full, I'm sure he wouldn't need anyone's assistance.  Asking someone for a favor doesn't constitute being rude.  But that is your opinion and you are welcome to it.

(steps off the soapbox)

Now, as for Anderson's catch, that was one of best plays of the year to me!!!  That catch saved Contreras from a potential big inning.

I wasn't exactly referring to Dazed or Yourself as irresponcble parents, I'mjust  making a general opinion of parents with young children, parents have to judge for themselves.

It's been my experience that parents do like to show of their child
