Take me out to the....Wait, what team is playing?

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I don't care about baseball.


I love going to baseball games and other sporting events, but NOT because I want to watch baseball or whatever sporting event is going on.

Here is what I like about going to the games:
  • Stadium food
  • Cold beers
  • Snuggling
  • People watching
  • The mascots
  • Finding our seats
  • Walking around the stadium

Some people actually paid attention to the game. So silly!

But I don't really care what happens in the game. Actually, I don't even KNOW what happens in the game because I never pay attention long enough to figure it out.


Which team is which? Beats me!

We went to the Nationals vs. Braves (had to look that up) game a few weeks back at the Nationals Park stadium in Washington D.C. The Nats were down 8-0 when we left the game.

Do I seem like I care? Nope.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the game.


Believe it or not, we had to go through this tunnel to get to the game.

The Metro was single-tracking on the way home, so we had plenty of time to investigate the escalators on the platform:

As this post very clearly lays out, the baseball game was fascinating. Non-stop action, with loads of high fives, innings, dugouts, bases, peanuts, and cracker jacks. And Bazooka gum. Honestly though, I have no clue what happened.

Many thanks for your comment @dihoa :)

I will actually watch basketball and football...but baseball I end up people watching, too! They are just too long for me. Fun pictures and even more fun memories!

I know right!!? Thanks @thesimplelife :)

Baseball games just take too long, nobody pays attention to a game that lasts 3 hours when the score is 8-0..... but you're right, the trip, the stadium, and all the rest is what makes the event worth attending. Thanks for your insights @jaymorebeet

Oh yeah! That's the best part- and there's tons of variety in the food these days too!

hahaha..you're so amusing @jaymorebeet, and I love your honesty :) I totally get just going to games or even concerts for atmosphere alone..that's always been me too :))

My husband always tell me I distract him from the game because I see it as an opportunity to snuggle. Apparently that's not cool to do at a baseball game....What gives?! Thanks girl!
