I just had my first real experience with a real live baseball game. My wife was able to get us some free tickets to a Tennessee Smokies game. We were in the skybox between third base and home plate. I had a great time! It was an awesome experience for me. Having my kids and wife with me just added to the time.
It was a very good game too. It was the Smokies verses the Mississippi Braves. Smokies won the game in extra innings, 2-1. Had a few close calls with foul balls coming back across the net. One of them hit a window of the press box. It hit about a foot above a cameraman’s head! You can read a game summary at the Smokies website.
It really got me into a good mood for baseball. As we left the stadium Sunday, I purchased a “game ball” from the Club House. If people see it, I’ll tell them I caught it at a game. ;) We went out last night and I bought my own baseball glove. Just have to break it in now. We also bought a glove for my son and daughter. This will give me more reason to get out and play now.
