&lt;p&gt;On those rare occasions when I can score a ticket, I usually bring my daughter. &amp;nbsp;I never go to my seat, but head straight for the last row in the bleachers. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I find an aisle seat and offer my grandstand seat in exchange. &amp;nbsp;They always comply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We sit in the last row. &amp;nbsp;Take in the game. &amp;nbsp;And have a blast. &amp;nbsp;I don't need to worry about my child going behind me, and because we are so high up, my child (3 years old) can hang out in the aisle and not block people's line of sight. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My kid was two years old when she saw Big Papi hit a three-run walk off. &amp;nbsp;The experience (now on Youtube) is permanently etched in her memory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As I said, there is right way and wrong way of doing this.&lt;/p&gt;
