Batter Up!!

Spring training is officially over here in Phoenix, so I no longer have to worry about traffic around the valley. But BOB (Chase Field) is literally walking distance from my office, making it easy for me to pop over to a game after work. YIPPEE!!! Now I know that I said I love basketball, but honestly who doesn't love baseball?! If you don't let me give you five simple reasons to love baseball with the help of one of the best baseball movies around. 
1) People watching: Baseball is fantastic for people watching! There are literally people from all aspects of life there, and you can see so so much. Plus the number of attractive guys who go to baseball games is endless. Plus there are extremely attractive players, so it is a win win when it comes to eye candy. 

I mean what girl didn't think Benny the Jet Rodriguez was a total dream boat? Le Sigh...

2) The Food: calories don't count at baseball games! Get a beer, a hot dog, and a bag of peanuts  because they are the best at a ball game! It is the only time I typically eat a hotdog, because somehow they magically taste better at a ball game. And when that guy comes walking up and down the isle with cotton candy, cracker jacks, or giant cookies don't deny yourself the pleasure of a sweet treat. The best is when you bring in your own bag of peanuts or sunflower seeds. ENDLESS snack food right there. 

3) Accessorize!: Ladies this is the one time where no one will judge you for wearing a baseball hat, a mustard stained t-shirt (from the hot dog) and your favorite pair of chuck tailors. You want to know why? Because no one cares, we are too busy watching the game! However, we will judge you if you show up with a flat brimmed hat or in your pajama pants. Just no..

4) Easiest sport to understand: Now if you didn't grow up around the dugout because your dad coached league ball like I did, have no fear! It is possibly the easiest game to pick up on. And if you are still having problems ask the Hottie McHotterson sitting next to you, baseball fans are very understanding. Unless you are rooting for the opposing team, then just pretend you know what your watching.  

5) The Lingo: I am not completely sure this is still in effect, but I still adhere to the baseball lingo traditions. And if you trash talk the other team no one is going to stop you... except if it is the home team.
