Baseball

While I love sports I never thought I would like baseball. It's one of those sports I couldn't even stand to watch. Of course, I had never watched an entire game and most of the time I would try very hard to avoid it.

Whenever my husband put it on TV I would leave the room. Now I have always loved other sports and sporting events. I have watched more football in my life than any girl should probably admit to. I am faithful to the Packers even when they are losing or doing stupid things I don't like. I love NASCAR and have a list of favorite and not so favorite drivers to watch, scream at and admire. I like watching the X-games, ice skating, cheerleading, gymnastics, etc...

But I had never found my love for baseball. Well that all changed when I was persuaded into going to a Brewers game a couple seasons back. Jason had been pestering me for awhile to go and when my work offered super cheap tickets and a bus ride I decided it was time to go. The bus ended up being over crowded so we drove down seperately and ended up having a great time.

There is just something about being in the live stadium that you can't get anywhere else. We have since been to several Brewers games and have enjoyed them all. We have only found 1 set of tickets I wouldn't purchase again. (Behind the visiting teams bull pen, as you can't see 1/2 the field or the big scoreboard.) The stadium snaps with energy and the nachos and dots ice cream are to die for.

So we are going to go again in September at least once, probably a couple of times. So why am I writing about what appears to be non sense? Well the Brewers made some good choices today to finally try to end their horrible losing streak and while I don't especially love to watch baseball on TV at least now I can tolerate it.

So Happy Brewers day and may they win tonight.
