Take us out to the BALLGAME !!!

A few days ago, Connie and I were hanging around the rig and Mike came calling. He wondered if we'd like to meet up with Jim and Bobbie in Tucson (they're out in BLM country right now) today for a day at the ballpark.

Although we're not really baseball fans, we figured it would be a good time with the group, so we signed on. Rick and Terry were also asked, but unfortunately, Rick apparently caught something and really wasn't feeling well enough to go , so Terry decided to "stand by her man" and stayed home with him.

Mike and Sandy rode with us to Tucson, and after a quick stop at Camping World (can't seem to get by that place) and another stop for Sandy to pick up some beading supplies, it was off to the ballpark.

Hi Corbett Field is a pretty nice facility, compact, well maintained and Winter home of the Colorado Rockies.

We arrived about 11:15 and weren't supposed to meet Jim and Bobbie until Noon, so after waiting for about 30 minutes and seeing lots of people start to come to the gates, Mike called Jim and they decided to have Mike buy tickets for all and we'd repay him.

Mike decided to get us one notch higher in the seat ratings ($) but also better views. However, (ahem) he bought tickets that were on the Visitors side (Texas Rangers) and in case you didn't know, Bobbie and Jim are avid Colorado Rockies fans.

(can you see where this is going? hee hee)

When Jim and Bobbie arrived, Mike tried to convince Bobbie that it would be OK to sit on the visitors side and harass them behind their dugout. NOT

Soooo, after Bobbie and Mike traded in the tickets for the "correct" side of the field, we were good to go.

It was warm and sunny at the field and somewhere around 80 degrees. We're not sure how hot it actually got, cuz the digital thermometer at the field was bouncing up and down all afternoon.It was a nice time, chatting, laughing, people watching, and oh yeah, watching the ballgame.

Bottom line:

Rockies 6, Rangers 6
at Hi Corbett Field
Tucson, Ariz.

Just another Field-Trip :-)
