Play Ball!!!

Last week my wonderful friends David and Tracy treated me to a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game as an early birthday present. The respite funding for my boys just recently came through so I took advantage of that for the free babysitting and enjoyed a few hours of adult company. This is the first opportunity for me to do this in months. It was so needed. The stadium. I was very happy to see the retractable roof open. Temperatures in the mid 60s, sunny and a light breeze makes for perfect weather to see a baseball game. The roof is a nice thing to have when it is raining or cold so there are no delays, but it feels so much more like a real baseball game when it is open.
We had a great view of the action. Our seats were great for seeing the game. Too bad they were right in the middle of the row and we were a little late. All the other seats in the row were occupied so we would have had to go around a lot of people to get in and out of them. With that we decided to not use the seat and watch the game from inside. While it seems like a waste I felt better that way having more space. Ryan Braun up to bat. This is our multimillion dollar man.

Prince Fielder up to bat. Another one of the teams bombers.
Berny Brewer's Dugout
The $4.25 brat. It took a bit to get over the sticker shock at the concession stands. This was a good sausage, but $4 good, nah! I could buy a package of 5 bratwursts and good buns for the price of 2 of these. My friends each bought a cheeseburger and a large soda for a grand total of $20.50. They said it was good, but not worth $6 for a cheeseburger. There was a $1 special on hot dogs and small sodas. Too bad I'm not a big hot dog fan. Maybe I should have been anyway for these prices!
The Klement's Sausage race. The contestants: hot dog, brat, italian sausage and polish sausage. The winner this day was italian sausage. This pic may be a bit blurry. Everyone gathers to watch these folks in sausage costumes run around the field. It's not easy to get a pic of this.Me at the game.

The Brewers won the game. The score was 5-3 I believe. We had to leave after the sausage race so I could get to an appointment after. I had a great time.
