I love baseball season. My dad used to have season tickets until they became ridiculously expensive. My family and I used to go all the time. I remember my mom used to have to bring a bag of activities for me because I wouldn't sit still while my brother would sit at attention with his glove ready to catch a fly ball and he did catch one eventually. It's on display somewhere in his old room. It made me sad last night to hear about the ridiculousness that has ensued recently with the Dodgers. Looks like the team is having financial issues so the NLB has agreed to take over. Here's the thing. Is it completely necessary for these guys to make millions of dollars to hit a ball with a stick? Is it necessary for any sports player to make that much money? They're not changing the world or curing cancer or ending hunger. I always thought it was ridiculous to make that much money. Obviously, no one will suggest lowering players salaries in order to fix the financial troubles, but it should be a suggestion. Either way, I just hope the Dodgers don't go away because of this. There are other bigger issues at hand of course, like where the hell is this money coming from and will the fans have to pay for it. I guess we will all just have to wait and see.

Play Ball!
Major League Baseball is under way and I’m super excited. I freaking love sitting in the stands doing the wave and rooting for the Dodgers and in some cases the Rockies. I grew up in those bleachers and I love it. The hot dogs and frozen yogurt. The smell of beer on the crazy guy screaming at the pitcher. It’s like home. My family has had season tickets every year since I can remember except for last year because of the economy, but we have them again this year and I’m going to try to go to every game. Our season seats are right behind home plate in what used to be the orange section and fly balls pop up there all the time. My brother caught one when we were little and I got hit with one not too long ago. Those are some good times. I even bought my brother a Dodgers belt buckle this past Christmas. I’m so ready to melt in that sun!
