Sunday: Go Local Sports Team
I took Sunday off of work in order to go to a baseball game with my mom and Taylor. I'm not really into sports of any kind (at least not the big team sports, though baseball is the one I'd pick if I had to), but their company goes out to a game as an annual event. They get a suite, so it's one of those private sections, and there's a bunch of free food and alcohol. A bunch of company clients come, and everyone gets a +1. So it's a good time once a year!
This year they were playing against the Cubs, so it was like a built-in consolation prize, whoever won. My mom is from Chicago, so the Cubs were her team when she was younger.
At the gate, a reminder of the last time the Rockies were good, lol. (Sadder with every passing year.)
Why is "baseball bat" so weirdly emphasized at the bottom of the warning sign? "...inherent dangers and risks of observing professional baseball including but not limited to, being struck by a baseball or a BASEBALL BAT"
Finding our way to the suite level is always an adventure and a hike, but we made it. Enough stairs that we all felt sweaty and gross just in time to say hi to mom's and Taylor's boss and coworkers, lol.
Grabbed a fruity vodka seltzer and a hotdog and settled in to watch some sports!
Look, sports!
Taylor and I counted how many ads we could see from where we were sitting. They said 32, but I think that was more just where they stopped counting. There were at least 38 that I counted a bit later, and a few that I wasn't sure I'd gotten or not. Fucking ridiculous.
Why is there an official bratwurst sponsor!?
(I texted Alex the same picture and question, and his answer was "~big baseball bat energy~" lol.)
No really, the number of "official partners" feels out of hand.
The Rockies lost, 6-2. There were a few pretty good plays (the Rockies' center fielder had two really dramatic catches; there were some impressive home runs; lots of high-stakes "bases are loaded" type situations.) Kind of low-energy compared to other games I remember going to, and probably as many Cub fans in the stands as there were Rockies fans, ha.
It was at least fun to go to, maybe especially because I wouldn't ever pay to go myself, haha.
