Annual Baseball Game

The older two kids went with me to a baseball game this past weekend. They appreciated the game in two different ways.

Beta watched as much as he could and enjoyed it, asking when we could come back. This was his first baseball game.

Alpha read as much as he could and enjoyed it. This was his third baseball game.

And they both ate as much as they could, despite the fact that we had a regular dinner just before leaving for the game.


All the home-team players get introduction songs. Whenever a player comes up to bat, the stadium operation plays, at full volume, a particular song for that player.

I noticed that they are all hard songs. Not difficult hard, but edgy hard. Hard country, hard rock, hard rap, etc.

I decided on what song I would want, should I ever become a professional baseball player – Christmas Eve in Sarajevo.


Next on the list: football. We’ll probably start with a local high school game, since college and pro tickets are a bit expensive.

Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

    How about Amazing Grace?

    You could get into an EMU game pretty cheap. But you’d probably see better football at a high school game, and the prices at the concession stands would likely be cheaper, too.

    Arby – but what version? any particular artist, or maybe just the bagpipes?

    Burrill – but that’s a longer drive. The high school is only 5 miles away. Maybe we’ll work up to EMU.
