I don't mind when I see people with reading material at the games because it tells me that they really love the person they came with.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-10875997554579622572009-02-23T18:34:00.000-08:002009-02-23T18:34:00.000-08:00I do love that you love baseball.

I connected to this post on so many levels that I'm not sure where to comment. My dad loved the Astros as a kid and used to beg to stay up late to listen. My husband, though, is a die hard Braves fan. I mean die hard. Like your daughter and the Giants. I, on the other hand, take a magazine or two to the ballgames when we go. What I love is people watching and the exciting moments: hits, errors, etc. Not a real fan - I know. <BR/><BR/>Little League is more my speed. One time I was at my nephew's game cheering like crazy. I saw him whisper to his coach and then come over to see me. He quietly said, "Aunt Relyn, you know you're cheering for the other team right?" Poor sweetie. I did know it. I just have to cheer for everybody.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-54013952868815344402009-02-21T20:13:00.000-08:002009-02-21T20:13:00.000-08:00Dear Rebekah,When we were in New York last summer ...Dear Rebekah,<BR/>When we were in New York last summer we had the chance to see the Mets, Yankees, and the Brooklyn Cyclones. It was fascinating to see the contrasts between these three games (I hope to do a post one day). I agree with you, the minor league games have that old-fashioned heart.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-31786642271893899012009-02-21T19:24:00.000-08:002009-02-21T19:24:00.000-08:00My father was a great sports fan - every sport - s...My father was a great sports fan - every sport - so it seemed natural to marry someone with like passion. But his is more directed in that basefall is HIS game and over the years has become mine. My husband's family (more football fans than baseball) thought the game was slow and boring, but the nuances and multiple dramas going on through every game are fascinating. We have a wonderful minor league team in our town that has the heart of the long-ago game, and fills us with joy every year!Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105270971959281644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-41587634526762066422009-02-19T12:01:00.000-08:002009-02-19T12:01:00.000-08:00Dear beth,I know baseball is not for everyone, but...Dear beth,<BR/>I know baseball is not for everyone, but it's been very good for our family. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your help on the "frame" ;)<BR/><BR/>Dear Ruth,<BR/>I think I was blessed that I was introduced to baseball when the Giants lost more games than they won. My expectations have been modest ever since and I jump for joy whenever they manage to win one. I never kept track of who was traded from where but I hear my kids discuss it with fervor. Good luck with the Tigers this season!<BR/><BR/>Dear Jemm,<BR/>My daughter plays softball for her high school now - it is a great sport!Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-57453859585318770612009-02-18T05:13:00.000-08:002009-02-18T05:13:00.000-08:00I completely agree!

My dad coached high school baseball when I was little and I played softball from age 8 through 18 every summer and in high school for the school in the spring and the city in the summer. I love it!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480939903983271555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-43595313718145513752009-02-18T04:40:00.000-08:002009-02-18T04:40:00.000-08:00Baseball seems boring to people who don't understa...Baseball seems boring to people who don't understand it. Well it <I>is</I> boring sometimes. One of my fondest memories with my dad was watching Tiger baseball on TV. Year after year (after 1968 when they won the Series) they did badly, and Dad would complain. My mom would rail at him for being a disloyal fan. But he was a faithful fan, even if he complained. <BR/><BR/>I lost some interest in the game when people started playing wherever they got the biggest paycheck. There seemed no team loyalty any more, and I couldn't keep track of the players. But it's been fun to watch the Tigers these last few years again. Until they inevitably start losing each season.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-79335809558784343512009-02-17T15:00:00.000-08:002009-02-17T15:00:00.000-08:00I love that you love baseball !!!{if you want to k...I love that you love baseball !!!<BR/><BR/>{if you want to know how to get rid of the "frame" around that first baseball picture and your banner, let me know...it's easy}bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094533582512917616noreply@blogger.com
