Baseball Done Right

Baseball is the great American pastime but admittedly you can get a little bored watching from way up in the nosebleed sections. Friday night we did baseball right! Who can resist seats in the first and second rows right next to the Angel dugout? We even made it in time for batting practice. It's fun to be so close to the players and even more fun to people watch while all the frenzied fans do their best to get that coveted autograph from their favorite. I couldn't believe how many people were able to smash into the small area between our seats and the concrete wall.

Ethan had his glove autographed and Ava her ticket by the rookie of the night...Sean Rodriguez. We loved that he took the time for the fans and loved even more that he had such a great night there on 2nd base.

Towards the end of the night, one of the umps hooked Ethan up with a game ball. I think Todd might have been more excited than he has. You really can't go home without a ball when you are sitting that close! Todd's love for baseball is great...but Ethan's love for getting "things" might just be greater!
