College World Series

Kyle, Oleg, Erin, Sean and I went to a College World Series game on Friday evening. North Carolina vs. Mississippi State. North Carolina won 8-5. It was very hot. Sticky hot. The smell of hot dogs and sunblock wafting through the air, signaling both baseball and summertime. It was a good time.


The famed Rosenblatt Stadium, home of the College World Series.


Kyle and Oleg waiting in the long, long general admission line to get in.


Action on the field. A fly ball being caught, in case you couldn't tell from the tiny figures.


Erin and I wait in eager anticipation of the fly ball being caught. We could also be found cheering for our favorite player, Benji. I wasn't cheering for any team in particular, just for the sport of baseball. I cheered for singles, doubles, triples, strikeouts, batters who were hit by pitches but walked it off, homeruns, fly ball catches, steals, everything. It didn't matter what team you were on, as long as you were doing something active and exciting, I was cheering for you.


Besides cheering, this is what I do best at a baseball game. This followed a hot dog and an ice cold coke. Man, do I love sporting events.


Sean was hungry too, but was too lazy to wait in the concession lines.


Beautiful.

I am really sad that I couldn't be a part of this outing and part of your blog post. It really hurts me.

I think Lindsay left out her creepy experience on purpose. I thought she'd make the news as someone to watch out for!
