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.

In the Circus

Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus was in Knoxville, TN this weekend. The wife and kids and I all went. We were down on the floor, second row, and it was great! We arrived early to take advantage of the pre-show they had. Saw some clowns, acrobats, and the kids put on a costume. We watched one of the shows they had and I got pulled into it! It was fun. It was me and three other guys. They had us sit on some chairs and then lay back. They then pulled the chairs out and we stayed up! They kinda took their time when they got my chair. Clowns always have to make fun of someone. ;)
