Take me out to the ballgame!

Evan went to his first major league baseball game this past weekend. The Baltimore Orioles were playing the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards in Baltimore. We were supposed to originally go to the O's game in April, when our friend, Read, was in town, but it got rained out. So we headed out with friends, Brendan and Maureen, to Baltimore on Saturday. The weather was nice, a bit hot and humid, but clear skies. Evan did great, given it was a 7 pm game. He fell asleep a few times, but if the O's did well, the crowd would erupt in applause, waking him and causing him to cry. Poor fella! It looked like the O's were going to lose, as they were down 6-4 in the bottom of the 9th. But they scored 2 runs to cause an extra inning. They eventually won, 7-6 in 10 innings. You can imagine how loud the stadium was. Evan fell back asleep just walking to the car. That's how tired he was! Anyway, a good start for Evan's first MLB game!

Intently watching the game, before getting tired...
Here is Evan with Daddy...Then Mommy...The baseball family...

We're sure to go to more O's games, as we just love Camden Yards! Anyone want to join us?
