Take Me Out to the Ball Game

So I may not be in Italy, but that doesn't mean I'm adventure free! Here in VA (dangit, I keep typing CA and get sad) there are lots of things for me to check out. Naturally I found myself at Harbor Park within 12 hours of getting into town...it's just down the street!

Around me I saw 3 generations enjoying the Sunday game together, which made me miss my favorite ball park (AT&T of course) with my dad in the seat next to me. The nostalgia didn't last too long when I realized that rather than putting on a parka, beanie, and blanket I wanted to stand in a freezer. Yeah, baseball games are best played in the sunshine (not fog).

Unfortunately, the Tides lost to the Bulls but I'm always happy to be at the ballpark. The air was filled with my favorite sounds: baseballs smacking the leather gloves, the cracking of bats, striiiiike. I hope to make it to another game next week- when they play the Toledo Mud Hens! Yeah, I love these random team names.

    The Toledo Mud Hens were Max Klinger's favorite team on M*A*S*H. If you ever watched it.

    Now that you say that I now know why it sounded familiar! Yay for dots being connected. Thank you.
