Just for a change of pace – baseball.

I have enjoyed watching the game of baseball since I was a young boy. At various times, I have played on Little League teams and even umpired for Little League once I aged out of the teams.

I started out as a fan of the Cincinnati Reds. I still keep an eye on how they are doing. They are about the only “old school” team I follow. (attended the last game in Crosley field and the first game at Riverfront Coliseum, haven’t been to the “new” Great American Ballpark) I also follow the Rockies and the Diamondbacks, for sentimental reasons – the Rockies because I was born in Colorado, and the Dbacks because they are the home team here.

Up until Sunday, July 22, 2012, I had not attended a Diamondbacks game that they won, and I mean from the first time a pitch was thrown in BOB until Sunday afternoon. That day, I witnessed the Diamondbacks handing the Astros their butts. Two days later, I got to watch as the Diamondbacks trounced all over the Rockies. While I felt bad for the Rockies, I was ecstatic that I had started a new streak – two winning games in a row that I had attended.

Now, it will take a lot of winning games for me to feel like it has changed to a balanced set of wins and losses, but hey, I’m willing to keep attending games in an effort to let that record even out. I’ll keep you posted.

Chat ya later…

Thanks for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, and Wear Red on Fridays!
