In celebration of a World Series Game 1 win!

Great baseball-related memories:
  • Playing catch and tee-ball with the dad and grandpa
  • Watching minor league baseball games- which included doing the YMCA, cheap beer after the designated hitter, fireworks on the fourth of July, 7th inning stretch horse races, and singing: "roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun!"
  • Bonding with strangers/ camaraderie while watching a game
  • Caramel corn/ peanuts/ churros/ soft pretzels/ cold beer/ polish dogs/ garlic fries!
  • Favorite movies of my youth: "Rookie of the Year" and "Little Big League"
  • EDIT: Who can forget "The Sandlot," "Angels in the Outfield," "A League of their Own," and "Field of Dreams" ?!
  • Good local teams! Go Giants! Go A's!
  • There is something about listening to baseball on the radio that is so much more interesting than some other sports (ex: golf, football)
  • There was a kid in my preschool class that ONLY wore homemade baseball uniforms :)
  • It's America's past time! Nothing is more all-American than baseball.
Let's hope we take this win and make it count towards Game 2!
