Baseball Season – Get Outdoors
By Wink
Yikes. Is it baseball season already? Wow, time to join in.
Yes, we know the season started many weeks back, but it takes a while for us to get warmed up. We mean ‘warmed up’ quite literally, because it can be stinking cold at those early season games, but all is well now, the weather is kicking into high gear!
We at Winkest Link love baseball. We sort of sucked at it as players, but it MUST be the best sport to watch live.
You have to like a sport where the participants don’t have to be seven-foot six inches tall, or 380 pounds. The steroid problem threw a bit of a damper o the sport, but we believe the new penalties will make that less and less of an issue.
Whiners will say it is too slow, that players spend too much time standing around scratching themselves and adjusting things. Yeah, they do stuff like that. So?
We didn’t say go to the games ALONE. Go with someone you like. You can chat about all kinds of stuff during all the down times (and during the ‘scratching/spitting’ times).
For baseball geeks there are tons of baseball-related topics you can talk about, but there is plenty of reasons for the non-geek. Relax, get some fresh air and sunshine and chat you’re your friends. It is just a picnic with an interesting game thrown in to distract you.
For the geek though….
- Okay, this guy on first is slow, so he probably won’t be able to score on a double, and there is NO CHANCE of him stealing second.
- Of course with a full count and two outs you KNOW he will be taking off with the pitch.
- You know Willie Mays once scored from first on a single. Unbelievable.
- One guy once threw 12 perfect innings and lost the game.
- Yogi Berra once said, about a restaurant, “Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded.”
Baseball used to be all about hot dogs, crackerjacks and beer, but there is WAY more that you can get there now, even at minor league parks. Some places have mixed drinks, sushi, hoagies, pizza and all manor of snackie and/or dessert items…
Kick back. Relax. WATCH BASEBALL LIVE…
