“Baseball is belly belly good to me,” says Chico Esquilla on Saturday Night
live.
And it was for a while. On occasion,
I got to go out at field level on my break from work. I could watch the crowds, the men thwack the
ball and run as if their lives depended on it.
George used to have season tickets.
He’d come meet me at my gate, and we could go home together.
For the last few years, we have not had season tickets. I know he loves baseball…but no season
tickets. There was some good
conversations with like-minded folks up in the nosebleed section at $16.50. I missed them when we didn’t go with any
regularity. His boss began rewarding him
with use of his seats. I liked sitting
down on field level…..$118.to $47.50.
Saturday we are going to the ball park.
Another like-minded group of folks got discount tickets for Toyota
Terrace, from $34.00 to $80.00, for us all.
Usually they are seventy bucks.
We paid far less. I’ve been gone
long enough now that most of the employees don’t recognize me. I recognize them tho.
This is going to be fun.

- Herself: Had a great visit with a trainer and came out of it with Gentle tips for the ribs. Dried new pants, and G says to consider them compression pants.
- Reading: Hillerman.
- Watching: Of all things, we found ourselves watching ‘America’s Got Talent” and having a great time. We both disagree with how they pick the finalists.
- Gratitudes: Chocolate ice cream. LOL
I always love your Gratitudes!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteHave a great time.
ReplyDeleteYou bet.
DeleteHow I used to love going to ball games with my grandma. Upper level, behind first base.
ReplyDeleteThat's where we will be...upper level behind home plate thinking of you.
Deletewe will enjoy ourselves
ReplyDeleteYes, wearing layers tho.
DeleteAh-h-h baseball! Memories — I used to get tickets to our TV station’s box for a major league farm team when the salesmen weren’t using them. I was dating the guy I eventually wed who had enjoyed baseball even more than I did as he had played a lot in high school, American Legion teams before illness curtailed his active sports participation. Glad you enjoyed the game.
ReplyDeleteWe will have fun later today. My husband was a really good pitcher for many years.
DeleteOh how I'd love to see a live game again. Baseball gets me through summer. Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteYesterday's game was a really good one. It's time you get to one too.
DeleteHi Mage, I tried to leave a comment about 3-4 times and it didn’t work on my MacBook, so I thought I’d try on my iPad. Let’s see if this works.
ReplyDeleteThis is so weird. Why in the world would it not work on my MacBook, but works on iPad? Ahhh well... technology can drive you crazy. My comment that didn’t go through just mentioned how Art and the kids are BIG into baseball where I’m rather clueless except when my son was in Little League. I’m really hoping for a good season for the Cubs though.
ReplyDeleteI'm mostly clueless too, but going with G and his friends yesterday was a delight.
DeleteI love Chocolate ice cream! Had Chocolate cheesecake from CostCo today, along with Mexican Chili and a single sliver of cheese and chicken pizza. Wonderful lunch goodies from fellow quilters. I took my latest project to share and because I shared, I won a quilt kit! My first ever quilt kit! Going to be fun making it. I almost called you earlier this evening ... glad I didn't for I know after reading this post I wouldn't have found you at home. Hopefully, my saga will have resolved itself by the time I see you next Sunday. Huggers ... me
ReplyDeleteWe too have guests, but when they are gone, I might try to phone you. That word "saga" frightens me a bit.
DeleteSuddenly I am singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' in my head. I am having a memory, probably false, of hearing it when I was a kid at grampa's.
ReplyDeleteWe were singing loudly yesterday and enjoying every note.
