Take Me Out to the Ballgame and Stay Awhile
Posted By Kathleen David on June 23, 2011
Yesterday was a busy one. I went back into the city to meet up with my BBF Mary Aileen (we use to say oldest but that got a little scary after we hit 40 years of being friends) and we went to various fabric stores in the Fashion district. I got to show her the places that I like. And we did a lot of looking at fabric with a little buying. More on that tomorrow because I am going to need your help dear reader to complete an outfit.
After that I went to the New York Public Library and chilled for a bit before heading out for CitiField. I took the 7 local and got to sit the whole time out there. I arrived during batting practice. Now the seats we had were very nice and they should be since they are Joe Quesada’s regular seats. They also were attached to one of the clubs so we had access to a bathroom that only a fix number of people had access to and there were more boys than girls in that section.
We had a rain delay so we waiting it out in the club. Caroline made some new friends with some of the kids and they played until we were informed that the game would be starting at 8:15. We dried off out seats and sat down for the game. And we almost had it at 10:30 but one runner around and we were tied yet again. Thanks a lot K-Rod.
So we went into the 10th and then the 11th. The clock was ticking. We thought about bagging it about 11:30 but Caroline was having so much fun cheering for the Mets and she wanted to find out what was going to happen. Finally in the 13th the A’s pitcher plunked Turner after intentionally walking Reyes and we got a walk off run in. 12:30 game over and we won. 4 hour game. And it was worth it to stay until the end of it.
We got home after some delays before 2:00AM. Caroline fell asleep in the car shortly after getting in. But I will give her credit. She got up at 8:00AM and get ready for school. I foresee her taking a nap this afternoon but that’s fine it is a half day at school.
So had a really good day. Feeling a little sleep deprived but not crazy sleep deprived. Going to try to get something done today. Just don’t know what.
I am grateful that we stayed for the whole game rather than listening to it on the radio on our way home.
