Take me out to the ball game...

Two of my grandchildren and I went to a Tincaps game this afternoon.  It was hot and muggy at first and not particularly fun as the other team scored the first point (or whatever you call it in baseball).  But I had promised that after the third inning we would go looking for refreshments.  We bought nachos and frozen lemon ice, and, even better, while we stood in a slow moving food line (other people evidently also like a 4th inning stretch) the sun moved just enough west that when we got back to our seats they were in shade. Things were definitely looking up.  Sadly, by the top of the 8th inning the other team was leading 5-0.  In the bottom of the 8th there was an exciting moment when the /Tincaps had the bases loaded, but, sob, only managed to get one run out of that. So it was a fun day for us but not so fun for our team.
