Baseball :)
Ever since last October, I've been really excited about baseball :) My boyfriend Nathan taught me the rules while I was on furlough. We watched a bunch of post-season games and learned how to score them. Behind the cut are some photos of the baseball fun!
Nathan and I cheered for the Pirates - huzzah!! :)This was one of the scorecards I wrote out last October.
Nathan's hat and platelet (which dreams of being a pitcher :D)I found a pirate sign while riding metro! Yarrrr!
During the winter season, I decorated my cubical...I scored a few spring training games. The Pirates scored 22 runs!!
This April, I went to a Nationals game :)A very kind woman gave me an extra ticket - we sat right along the 1st baseline!
This was my (messy) scorecard. I got a free pencil...with no eraser!I also got a free shirt and bought a hat to match! Go Nats!
Nathan gave me a nice scorebook for my birthday :)I recorded a game between the Pirates and the Cubs - it turned out to be the longest game in Pirates history in terms of time spent!
Nathan's grandparents gave me a nice Pirates shirt for Christmas :)I also bought a jersey, hehe!
