Go Hoppers Go!

Thomas surprised Gina and asked her out on a date to the baseball game! We had never been to a game together so she was very excited. He sort of forgot to mention that we would be attending with his favorite student's family, but it was still very romantic.

Thomas greeted fans with the mascot before the game.
What's Bella doing out on the field? If you enlarge the picture you can see that the batter from the opposing team has just gotten hit in the head with a pitch. He was ok though.

Speaking of getting hit, we noticed that lots of balls got hit in to the bleachers. This could kill you! A fan lost an eye here last summer (it's true). Thomas assured Gina that he would protect her. When a foul ball did actually come in to our section Thomas ducked but that is beside the point.

There were fireworks at the end! They set them off from a cart in the outfield.

What a fun night. Thomas liked his first baseball game. He felt like the pace moved along nicely and he was impressed by how dangerous the game was.
