Baseball’s Actually Fun
Went to the Dodger’s game last night. Had a lot of fun and witnessed something I’ve never seen before. I saw a guy get 18 pitches after he fouled 11 of them. The crowd was first annoyed, then as the number of foul balls he hit increased, the crowd got back on his side. The only way to save this at bat in front of the fans was to hit a home run. Alex Cora did exactly that and the place went mad. Read about it here. That’s when baseball gets fun.
On a side-note, man, Dodger’s Stadium is a real pit these days. They seriously need to do some upgrades, especially to their displays and ad systems. Just looks like 80s schlock. On the other hand, Angels Staidum, which I also visited recently for a game, is a beautiful stadium. It underwent a couple of renovations lately and it shows. Makes Dodgers Stadium look like Compton.
