My Annual Trip To The Ballpark Results In Rangers Double Header Wins

I tried to educate my sister some on baseball. I would ask her what the inning was, how was winning, and how many hits there were in the game. Of course, all she had to do was find the answer on the LED screens somewhere, but that was easier said than done sometimes. They put so many words and numbers up all over, it gets confusing. It was pretty cool looking though; it stretched almost all the way around the park.

The second game eventually started and I prepared to be entertained.

One thing I learned again, was how expensive the food can be. My sister ate a five dollar hamburger with two dollar fries and a five dollar drink. Crazy right? All those poor workers who drag all that food from seat to seat were scrutinized each time they came our way.

"Four dollars for a 20 ounce drink? An ice cream sandwich is five dollars? Beer is how much?"

I can't really tell you much about the game. It's not that I wasn't paying attention; it's just that the stadium and the people in it were more memorable.

There was this little boy sitting in front of us who kept getting into trouble. I don't know his mom, but she sure scared me. The funniest thing he did was ask his parents for beer. Priceless.

The game, however, was pretty good. The Rangers scored early I think, and the crowd acted as if they broke a no-scoring streak. The Rangers do have passionate loud fans who really make the game. My aunt was one of them, yelling and screaming all crazy like. People just stared sometimes.

The wave, something I rarely take full part in, came around a record of five times. Usually it comes around strongly once, then dies out. But today was opposite day, so it kept coming. Slowly each time, you could hear the loudness soften and more people stopped until the Rangers made some play and they started cheering for that.

If you've ever been to the park, you know about that Dot Race. Well I picked blue and it let me down. It had a huge lead, but blew it to Red at the very end. No free water for me.

I think it was around this time, I made my sister scream.

I made the mistake by stating first that she shouldn't scream. There was a tiny bug on the jacket she had and she started screaming and flicking the bug in my direction. I then made the same mistake five minutes later. She asked where the bug went, and then I saw. It was now on her chest. I was going to hit it, but again, she screamed and flicked off. The people around us just stared, especially the old guy right in front us.

My sister finally got her Lemon Chill later in the game and was waking up now. She had been laying down and acting all sleepy. The Chill now gave her an energy rush.

"I want some buddy." She hands me a unopened spork.

"Why do you have two?"

"That lady knew my buddy would want some too, so she gave me two."

I love that girl.

Close to the end of the game, my other sister didn't want to take this free picture with my mom so I volunteered to go. After all, I had my hair down and all dressed up. She said there was no line, but now that we were going to do it, there was one. We took a nice picture, holding a bat, that was photo shopped with a stadium background. It was okay. My sister hated it.

The best part I think was when the stadium lights were turned off and the fireworks show started. I sat back and looked at the night sky being all lit up by the amazing show. It was awesome, except for the giant scoreboard blocking some of the show.

The game had many great plays, whether it was the home or away team and I'm glad I went. Even if I am rushing to write this with work in one hour.

I don't even remember the score of the second game; all I know is that they won and are now in first place in their division. Good enough for me.

After the game, we hiked back to our car, passed right by the Cowboys new home, and then found out the highway ramp we needed was being worked on so we had to take an alternate route. We finally made it home where I immediately went on my laptop to upload my pictures. They turned out pretty nice for camera pictures.

Around one, I was in bed.


I now leave you with my Best Moments from the game.

Funniest Moment: Watching my older cousin rap the "car alarm might bark" part from Dorrough's Ice Cream Paint Job.... and then proceed to bark loudly.
OMG Moment: That little boy and his beer asking.
Annoying Moment: The dad behind me quizzing his I'm assumed daughter on the game. He asked her all kinds of questions and kept telling her advice. I just want to watch the game; I don't need a play-by-play analysis. I could have gotten that at home.
Coolest Moment: The fireworks show, hands down.
Lamest Moment: My blue dot surrendering the win at the very end.
Embarrassing Moment: My sister screaming when there was a bug on her.
Family Moment: The free picture my mom, sister, and I took.
High School Moment: Seeing an old friend from school after the game.
Breathtaking Moment: Seeing the new stadium in person.
