Anna had lots of fun at her first baseball game ever. The timing was a little off because it was her nap time when the game started, but she was happy for most of it. She looks pretty tired in the photo above (taken after the game). Click it to see the rest of the photos.
I love my job. Today, I was given tickets by my work to go and enjoy a baseball game in the middle of the day. Sometime after the first inning, however, it started to rain. It was my first time experiencing a rain delay at a game. In fact, a couple years ago I went to a game that rained the whole way through and they didn’t call it. Anyhow, I sat through the rain delay.
“This can’t last more than 15 minutes,” I said.
And it didn’t. Well, the rain didn’t. It took a good 20 minutes after the rain stopped to de-tarp the field and prep it for play again.
Arizonans are so weird when it comes to rain. At the slightest sprinkle they go running for cover. A lady sitting close to me said that there were a bunch of “wicked witches of the West” (actually, I think she said “wicked witch of the Wests”).
It started raining again in the 4th inning and they stopped the game again mid-batter. I told the guy I was with that we were probably done, so we headed to the car. Before we even got out of the park, it was pouring. We walked/jogged as fast as we could to my car, but by the time we got there we were soaked. We would have been drier jumping into a pool fully-clothed.
As we were driving away, the clouds went away and out came the sun. Hilarious how the weather works sometimes.
