New York Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox

On Monday, Amber announced that she was the winner of an office drawing for four tickets to the Yankees/White Sox game last night (Tuesday). So, I called Kristin to ask if she'd like to go. Unfortunately, she had a Women's Ministry meeting last night, but she authorized Kathryn and me to go. Bill and Amber were both going to come too. But since Bill wasn't going to be able to leave work until the start of the game, we decided to drive separately.

So Kathryn and I arrived at "U.S. Cellular Field" at about 6:30, and found our seats (on the main level, third-base side, only seventeen rows from the field)! Kathryn slept a bit on the way down, so I wasn't too worried about missing her bedtime. The game started at 7:05. Kathryn understands enough baseball terminology to follow some of the plays, but she was much more interested in the food, of course. Earlier in the day, we found out at the allergist's that Kathryn is definitely allergic to peanuts, so we avoided them completely. But she enjoyed a lot of the other "junk" food at the park. Her favorite was a Lemon Ice at the end of the night.

I was very glad the White Sox managed to hit a couple home runs, so Kathryn could see the celebratory fireworks. Round about the eighth inning, Kathryn asked if we could leave. We still didn't get home until about 11:00. She enjoyed her "first professional baseball game" (as she puts it).
