I just have to brag. I got tickets to see Roger Clemens [pitch Monday](http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2883025). I’m bringing my son. I hate the Yankees–we’re a Red Sox family–but this is probably the biggest event I’ve had the opportunity to share with him in our lives so far.

We’re very excited about it, but he has no idea of the magnitude of the player he’ll be watching yet.

What was the biggest event you got to share with your child or parent?

My dad took me to the Million Man March when I was eight. I had no idea how big a deal it was at the time, but looking back on it now, I kinda have to step back and go “…Wow”.

When I was 14 my dad took me to the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium and Manchester City beat Birmingham 3-1.

One of the happiest days of my life
