Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Our town is blessed with a minor league baseball team, the Bowie Baysox. Last night was perfect baseball weather so we went to see our team play the Redding Phillies.It was great fun. The players are all very young and excited to be playing professional baseball. We saw friends and neighbors. We discovered again how much better a hot dog tastes with a baseball game in front of it. There were stupid games between the innings that made us laugh. We enjoyed the earth worm digging contest and the tire/ plunger relay. After the game there was a huge pillow fight among the hundred or more fans who had brought their pillows for this purpose. It would have been a perfect evening if our team had won, but, alas, that did not happen.

When was the last time you watched a baseball game?

Good times!
The last ball game I went to was about 5 years ago at Dodger stadium.
Barry Bonds hit a home run,but I was at the snack bar and missed it.

It was HOT!

We were at the 'Sox last night. A good crowd - lots of kids (it was Summer Reading night).

It's so nice just to walk up, buy tickets, and enjoy a game. None of the transportation and other hassles that surround getting to Nationals Park (although it is nice to have major league baseball back in DC).

Now that sounds like fun. The last one I watched was my 7 year old's I think. I like how you described the hot dog experience. :)
