What's more American than apple pie?
How about baseball?

Minor league baseball
is affordable family fun.
So usually once or twice a year
we head to a game.

I'm really not a fan of baseball.
But it's a family thing.
So I go.
Sometimes.

| Where's the Peanuts and Cracker Jack? |
I am really not a fan of the food either.
But affordable junk food is much easier to swallow
than expensive major league junk food.

I get through it all by taking pictures.
Lots of pictures.

I love minor league ball, so much fun!
I also love how you focused on the other elements of the game, I need to do that the next time I go!
if the word sports is in or around it, i don't do it. but hubby does. i will show him this, he loves when you do things about his birth place.... taking photos make anything doable....
I love these shots. They really take you in and make you feel like we were there with you.
yeah go spikes. they are about 20 miles from my house.
Football is the thing here at the moment, rugby league. I tend to find other things to do while it is on t.v. I wouldn't mind going to a live game one day, for a big team, but just to see what it is like. I think I'd be like you ... photos, photos, photos.
