Back in the fall of 1994, when I already knew that we would be moving to 
Belgium the following spring, I wanted to make sure that my then 5-year old 
son had the quintessential American father-son experience before we left, 
and I took him to a Phillies game (we lived in Lawrenceville, NJ at the 
time, so Philadelphia was the closest city with an MLB team). Here is one of 
my pictures from 21 years ago:

Last night, with my son now 26 and living here in the US, we repeated the 
exercise. Sadly, Veterans Stadium is no more, replaced by something named 
after a bank, but the Phillies are still the Phillies. They played the Blue 
Jays and lost 8-5, mainly due to lousy pitching and fielding, but that was 
almost secondary to the overall experience.

The overall view:
