We're not well-to-do, but H looks for deals all over the internet. Yesterday, he found a great deal on tickets to the Rays game, so we commenced our four day holiday weekend last night by attending our first family baseball game.
It was really fun...and I don't even like baseball. Well, I didn't, but maybe I do now.
We played the Toronto Blue Jays and creamed 'em.
It was pretty awesome. The crowd was pepped and enthusiastic. I think there was a concerted effort by The Powers That Be to make the throng feel a part of the action. Cheering and cowbell ringing(?) were greatly encouraged. There were various contests for the audience. Many baseballs were given away. I think Baseball is trying hard to return to its status as America's National Pastime. It certainly is a good outing for families. Even at full price, baseball is much more affordable than football.
We all had such a great time; I think we may return.
