Baseball night

As I think most people know, Baseball is one of america's national sports and like the other national sports, unless someone is explaining what is happening to you it's a little confusing. Luckily at my first baseball event I was surrounded by ex-little league players that could give me the low down on what was going on!

It was a corporate sponsored event for the interns so there was food and alcohol on the company. This allowed me to drink more Bud Light and eat hot dogs!  Although I was informed that monkey nuts were the really food to eat at a baseball match. Just open them up and throw those shells on the ground! 

I'm not going to try and explain the game to you guys as I'm still not sure I followed it but it's kinda like rounders but with cricket terminology throw in! All I know is it went on for ages, in fact I didn't even stay to the end but that's another story, for another time.  As a social event it was great as you could still be involved in the game even if you were chatting about what not. 

As part of out ticket we also got $15 to spend in the gift shop. Sadly that didn't buy you much (got myself some sparkly earrings!) but it did give me the chance to try on this awesome hat...

Remember, everything is bigger in Texas!
