Loss of virginity

Well, I did manage to get to the baseball game as I hoped, and must say I'm very pleased I did.

I've been following baseball for a short time, maybe a month or two... something like that. Of course I'm not an expert or anything, but I've found it really easy to get into. This game has just helped cement my love for it.

Granted, the game itself wasn't exactly important or anything, but it was fun to sit there and watch. The local team did well, scoring far heavier than the away team. Of course, at this level there's far too many walks given, and a few runs were scored off them. Shortly after I got to the game (I was a few minutes late), the away team hit a massive home run over the right field fence. This was soon to be countered by a stunning catch. Left field running towards center and having to jump to his left to catch the ball low, maybe a metre or less above the ground. Straight after making the catch, he threw to second base to get the runner out in a double play. The spectators (there was maybe 20 people watching max, so not calling it a crowd) went wild. Simply awesome stuff to see unfold before your eyes.

It seems there's some more home games next weekend (night game on Friday and a day game on Sunday), so thinking I might go to those if I can as well. Really enjoyable stuff.
