Baseball Season 2014
So anyone that knows me well (or not even that well) knows that I'm a big fan of the sport of baseball. Most find it pretty boring but I find it amazingly strategic and detailed.
First and foremost I am a Brewer's fan and it has been a really fun season watching them lead the NL Central for the season thus far and even spent periods of time leading all of baseball and all of NL! Secondly (waaaaay secondly), I'm a Brave's fan for the following reasons...1. they are of the franchise that were the Milwaukee Braves before they moved to Atlanta, 2. they are now the closest team to my current home and therefore the team most readily available to attend and watch on TV and 3. (probably most influential) is the fact that my love of baseball brought me to Turner Field for the first time on Aug 16, 2009 to catch a Brave's game and on that night I ended up meeting the man that I would end up spending the rest of my life with!!
Here's a tour of our baseball experiences so far this year...
Rome Braves Class-A minor league Team on 4/27/14 in Rome, GA at State Mutual Stadium
Babies McKenzie, Madox and Leah were the last 3 kiddos that got to run the bases after the game and I think you will agree that they were incredibly adorable!
Chattanooga Lookouts Double-A LA Dodgers affiliate Minor League team on 5/2/14 in Chattanooga, TN at AT&T Field
Milwaukee Brewers vs New York Yankees on 5/9/14 in Milwaukee, WI at Miller Park
The infamous racing sausages are my favorite tradition of the Milw Brew Crew
Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves on 5/21/14 in Atlanta, GA at Turner Field
Milwaukee Brewers vs Atlanta Braves on 5/22/14 in Atlanta, GA at Turner Field
Atlanta Braves vs Los Angeles Angels on 6/14/14 in Atlanta, GA at Turner Field
These tickets were gifted to me by a patient for Club level seats with access to the 755 Club
We suffered through a long night of poor Braves performance with a 0-5 score going into the 8th and finally 1-5 going into the 9th. We hung out til the middle of the 9th and then decided to head home a step ahead of the crowd. We didn't even hit the freeway by the time I started getting updates on my phone that the Braves were scoring runs in the bottom of the 9th and had tied it up. Heath and I were able to get home to our couch to finish watching the game go into 13 innings for an ultimate Braves loss of 5-11. This is exactly why I HATE leaving games early and exactly why I LOVE the sport of baseball so much!
Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies on 7/19/14 in Atlanta, GA at Turner Field
Got to enjoy a day at the park with Heath's mom, Linda. It was a beautiful unseasonably cool night for July in Georgia!
Bonus:
Got to catch a Brewers vs Cardinals game on tv and happened to see Uncle Tom, Dad and Jenny sitting 5 rows back!!
