As we prepared to head to the ballpark for our minor league experience yesterday, we learned that our game had become two games. We haven't had much rain here lately, but the double-header was because a game was a rain-out on Saturday. So we were a little late for the opener since it got pushed earlier. But that's okay. Even with the games reduced to seven innings for the twin-bill, two games is a lot of baseball. On the bright side, we had some of the best seats in the house, right behind home plate. As I mentioned, this is because the ticket prices were dirt cheap compared to pro games. Concession prices, on the other hand, were typical of any ballpark/stadium/arena. Which is to say, outrageous. I was the designated driver, but MrsBlue had two beers, which cost considerably more than her seat. Gouging aside, we had a lot of fun and will surely do it again.
