Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Yesterday we all went to a Portland Beavers minor league baseball game. Josie and I had a blast, Lou and Daddy, not so much. Josie and I are baseball people, the other two are not.

We did it up right, singing the National Anthem and the 7th inning stretch at the top of our lungs, eating peanuts and keeping score in the program. I taught Jo what I knew about the game, since John wouldn't know what RBI was if it smacked him with a catcher's mitt. And to my delight, she likes it too and was genuinely interested in the goings-on. We're going back for the last home stand as a birthday present, just her and me.

How fun!! We don't have

How fun!! We don't have anything close to us (2 hours to see the Amarillo Dillas, 4 to see the Albuquerque Isotopes). But whenever we go to Georgia to see my family, I make sure it's during an Atlanta Braves homestand. I grew up going to Braves games and always enjoy the atmosphere.

Batter up!

We love our minor league Akron Aeros! Tickets are easy to come by (often free from a friend), there's not a bad seat in the house...and who can resist those peanuts! There are always fireworks after Friday home games, too. The only bummer for us is that we don't get to take Bob to the "Take your pet to the ballpark" parade...no one makes a good leash for a 13 inch lizard! Eye-wink

Play Ball!
