Baseball part deux
May. 24th, 2005 12:24 amWent to a baseball game a week ago. It was the Lexington Legends against the Asheville Tourists. Official game summary can be found here.
Got to sit on the Pepsi Party Deck and chow down on bad food with other Berea Alumni. Jennifer Mills got the skinny on what I'm up to, so I'm fairly confident everybody who's anybody there already has the deal on me via the rumor mill now. Fun stuff. You know though, I didn't recognize her at first. We got free sodas though. I think between me, my Mom, and my Dad we ran through about fifty dollars worth of sodas. :D
It's a shame I didn't see anyone I recognized, though there were a few people from contemporary classes there. Ah well. Still better sitting in our chairs than down in the stands.
The first half of the game wasn't too exciting. Neither team played all that well. The second half was awesome. Scoring out the wazoo, fun and madness. They highlighted the guy that ran the scoreboard for the other games in the league. The announcer got carried away and managed to freak out the away team with a barrage of soundbites. Ninjas rained from the--- well no, but it could have. And it all came down to the wire, last pitch of the game. And Caraballo couldn't drive one of the two runners on base in for the tying score. He didn't even swing. At least the Mighty Casey went out swinging.
But it was a fun time, and that's all that matters.

A while back I got a flier in the mail from the Berea Alumni association advertising some kind of Dinner+Baseball game thing. The tickets where a bit much, but it looks to be fun. Well, that thing is tonight. Pulled Pork Sandwiches + Chips + Soda + Hotdogs + Other Berea Alum + Baseball = TEH WIN.
I'm taking my parents with me. I'd take Rathmann, but he's got a weird factory job thing going on so I never know just when he works, so I didn't order 4 tickets back in the day.
It should be fun. It's only minor league baseball (The Lexington Legends), but I haven't been to a baseball game since like 1992 or something. My Uncle Bill and Aunt Judy took me and my only male cousin, Tomboy, to a Louisville Cardinals game.
That Cards game was a double-header. I forget who they played, but that doesn't matter. It was fun. I remember the mascot beating the snot out of a dummy umpire. :D I remember looking out of the stadium and being like "Whoa, we're up high."
Good times.
Hopefully today'll be as I predict.
(Dinner at 5:30 there, then a 7:00 PM Baseball game. I'm going to be there all night.)
