Twins v Yankees

Last night was the first time I had ever attended a professional baseball game. Kendra, Amber and I chose a good night to light-rail-it over to the stadium because the Twins were playing the Yankees [whom they had defeated the night prior].
As we were purchasing our tickets, the three of us all commented on how that area would have to be one of our favorite venues to "people-watch." Yes, we admitted it because let's just get it out there -- professional sporting games bring in people of all interests and ages, and it is a pretty damn fun environment!
The tickets we bought ended up being in the "Family Area" which gave us a deal of one free hot dog and one free beverage, so we were happy fans. Our seats were in the middle of the row, so of course the people on the outskirts became tired of standing up and sitting back down just for us to walk past a couple times...;)
You have to love having those deep conversations in some of the most spontaneous areas... like in the middle of a Twins game with three young men behind us screaming at the Fan Cam. What a scene.
The girls and I stayed until the bottom of the 7th just to sing "Take me out to the Ball Game." Very nice times.
In the end, the game went past 12 innings.

Go Twins!
