Baseball seats

Okay ladies, I don't really follow any sports but I have a friend who loves baseball.  I would like to buy tickets as a birthday present but I have no idea what is considered a "good seat"  is there a certain base line or something that gives the best view?

It depends on the stadium. Behind home plate usually offers a really good view and typically the closer to the field, the better, no matter what baseline you're on.

For which stadium are you looking to buy?

The most important thing is to make sure you don't get limited view seats, where you're sitting behind a giant support beam or something.

I agree, though, it depends on the stadium.  There's not a bad seat in my ballpark (/favoritism) but I generally try to stay away from outfield seats.  Sure, you can catch home run balls, and you might see who's in the bullpen before other people do, but you're pretty far from the pitch-by-pitch.

In general I would prefer to be a little bit higher up but be behind the plate. But like others have said, depends on the stadium.

My guess is if your friend is also in Michigan, it's at Comerica Park - I don't think there is a bad seat in the house there. 

Obviously the best seats are behind home plate on any level, but we enjoy sitting down the right field line at our park, and when I had season tickets in Oakland I sat in the LF bleachers which I loved.

Is it at Comerica or another park?  I've been to 16 of the parks, so I can maybe help...just page me on the Detroit Nestie board

Yes, it would be at Comerica park.

I've been up behind home plate a few times at Comerica...love it!  We also occasionall get seats in the pavilion up there.
