Take Me Out to the Ballgame




Back in the day, I was the BIGGEST baseball fan. I would religiously watch the De-backs every night (Third grade homework was much less time-consuming…those were the days). I could give anyone a detailed explanation of the game. I played the sport closest to it—softball—and took it very seriously.

But junior high came and I was girlified and baseball exited my life. But the other week I relived those baseball glory days of my youth.

McAfee was gracious enough to send all the interns to a Giants game. And not just any Giants game—the Battle of the Bay versus the A’s. So for the first time in six years, I went to a MLB game.

And can I tell you! Ballpark food is pretty darn awesome. McAfee also gave us food credit (so spoiled) so I made sure to try a myriad of items including a polish dog covered in sauerkraut and ranch, fry bread with cookie butter (converted!), and garlic fries. It was a meal I affectionately refer to as the “kiss of death.”

I died of happiness as I joined along in the cheers. Though I had to restrain myself from saying “BYU” instead of “Giants”. #colorguardprobs

As for the baseball, embarrassingly I am not the expert I used to be. I mixed up the ump signals for ball and strike. It took me a bit of time to remember what RBI stood for. Yeah, I was a bit rusty.

In the end, the Giants won! (Haha A’s and Dodgers fans!) It was a good night at the ballpark.
