Detroit Tigers
I got to go to my first major league baseball game this season yesterday. A bunch of the family met in Detroit to see the Tigers play the Reds. I have been to many games but not seen either the Reds or the Tigers play before. It was a really good game too. The Tigers were winning until Ken Griffey Jr hit a grand slam to put the Reds up by 1. Then at the bottom of the ninth, a Tiger player hit someone in to tie the score. So they played another inning. The Reds didn't score and the Tigers had 2 outs with someone on first and third at the bottom of the tenth. The batter hit a weak ball to third base and the player threw it to first but it was a bad throw and the first baseman couldn't reach it. So the guy on third ran in to score, winning the game for the TIgers. It was very exciting. After the game there were fireworks that were very impressive considering that they have them on Saturdays after the games. Plus they are right out on the field so they seem louder and really close. All in all, it was a lot of fun and I got to have yummy nachos and super cotton candy, two of my favorite treats even though they cost an arm and a leg and add that much too you as well. The game was the largest crowd the field had ever had as well at 43, 600 and some people. Pretty much sold out I think. Yeah it was fun. Come visit and you can go to a game too!! Oh and tomorrow morning at 9am I have my first "real" interview for a teaching job!

I love baseball games... America's past time! I have such good memories of us up in Philly at that game! I wish I could make it out your way and catch a game!
Baseball games are the best. I wouuld love to take a road trip to travel across the U.S. and go to every MLB field and watch a game. That would be the best.
