On Sunday I went with a couple of visiting friends to watch a baseball game. This was the first baseball game since I moved up to Northern California. Since my last game I have watched it on TV and read a book on watching baseball, so I had a better idea of what was happening. The game was Kansas City at Oakland; the Oakland A’s won 7-1. The A’s won the World Series in three consecutive years back in the seventies when players had mustaches that were almost as large as a baseball bat. They won it again at the end of the eighties when they beat the team from across the bay, the San Francisco Giants.
The entire walkway that runs around the inside of the stadium is lined with places selling food and drink. For those too lazy to get up and go in search of refreshment, vendors walk up and down the aisles during the game selling ice cream, coffee, and other snacks. We had the obligatory hot-dog and beer, as well as sharing an excellent plate of Nachos.
In the UK the team mascot runs or at least trots onto the pitch. Here he drives on in a car, as the announcer proclaims the benefits of using Chevron fuel for a cleaner engine.
lol You all looked like you had a great time!!!
