America's Pastime? What Were They Thinking?

Ok, so we've probably all heard it said that baseball is way more fun in person, when you're actually at the game. A couple of weeks ago (I know, it still takes me weeks to post, but I am getting better!) Amanda and I went to a Drillers game in Tulsa with a bunch of the college students and we found that really, its not any more fun to actually be there. Take a look at this picture and tell me what you think.














The rest of the game looked just like this, except for a bunch more 0's. The Drillers finally scored a run in the top of the 9th inning to win. I don't know about you, but I just didn't enjoy the 3 hours spent in the heat and humidity. Three minutes of action crammed into three hours.
In baseballs defense, it was only a Drillers game, a minor league team. Maybe a MLB game would be more fun, but I kind of doubt it.
Now I know I've been kind of negative, and hard on baseball, I got to hang out with some of my friends from OWU which was fun. The thing that made setting through the game bearable was the sweet fireworks display that they had after the game. If it hadn't been for that, most of us would have left after the 4th or 5th inning! Here are a couple of pictures of the people and the fireworks that made the baseball game worth going to, and maybe that's why people enjoy it. They enjoy the atmosphere and the people. In the end, it was an alright trip, we did go to starbuck after wards. However, I'm still not convinced that baseball is a real sport!
