Baseball

Previously, I mentioned that I am looking forward to baseball this year. The opening home series for the St Louis Cardinals AA team had some sucky weather so I didn't go to any of the games. But the Baby Birds have been playing well on the road and return to Springfield tonight for another home stand. I have tickets to tonight's game, as well as for Saturday's doubleheader, and will be using the general admission pass for the games on the other nights. I am kind of looking forward to it!
I typically go to games by myself, walk around as I feel like it, and just enjoy watching the game. I'll need to make a plan to go easy on concessions if I am going to go often. 

I've also been enjoying watching the St Louis team this year. It's the first year that I've been able to watch them since we moved to this house five years ago. Well, I suppose I could have paid for a subscription, but I'm too cheap to pay to watch baseball in my own home.
It's weird how the simple things we enjoyed for free in the past have become commodities in our capitalistic world today. But with a free app from T-Mobile and some creative digital help I am now able to watch Cardinal baseball from the comfort of the deck. 
I am looking forward to many summer nights, watching baseball, smoking cigars, sipping bourbon or tequila, and enjoying my own snacks and convenient between inning breaks. 

I'll see you at the ballpark!
