For the first time in a long time, I went to a major league baseball game. When Cameron decided to spend spring break with us, Doug suggested a spring training game. I was surprised by how excited all of us were about it. I hadn't been to a game since Cameron was in preschool. Even Meg and Nick kept the night open to meet us.
The trip to Joker Marchant Field was a tough one with a missed turn and a lot of traffic, but other than that we all had a great time watching the Pirates vs. the Tigers. We ate some of the traditional snacks - hot dogs and peanuts. Several in our group ordered a beer or two while watching and all of us had fun. The Tiger mascot was a little dated and the Pirates pitcher took a ball to the face, but even those couldn't dampen the mood. The evening reminded me of how much I used to love following baseball when I was in middle school and of all of the fun that we had taking our own children to major league games. I don't know if we will make it back to another game this spring, but after tonight, I decided that I wouldn't wait another 15+ years to go to another one.
