I went to the mid-Atlantic, home of green grass in April and pretty baseball stadiums.
I caught an Orioles game at Camden Yards against the Yankees out of sheer luck that no one else wanted these tickets.
The Yankees were dumbfounded by the quietly talented no-name Orioles. Fellow contributors Adam, Abby, and I spent some time filling in words for what the Yankees are saying in this picture. Things like, “My neighbor’s dog keeps chewing on my fence,” and “I went to Best Buy and they have an incredible deal on flatscreen tv’s!” Because that’s what millionaires do, right? Feel free to add your own.
This is also about baseball, because after 4 days of searching for my baseball glove with no luck, I tore apart my parent’s garage and found it hiding underneath a basketball.
Nowadays, I just sit around smelling the glove and remembering how awesome it was to be on a baseball field at night. No matter how much school sucked come April, I’d get to play baseball and know that it’s almost summer. And lately it feels like summer. I even took my glove out for a catch and three of us sat around talking about our futures like we were thirteen again talking about being major leaguers.

“Did you guys see ‘The Office’ last night? Dwight is so CRAZY!”
… that’s what they’re saying to each other on the mound.

Hrm….I am really glad that y’all had a great time. I’m excited for when I get to go. I didn’t know that there wasn’t a lid for your stadium! That’s awesome! I’ve only seen games in Seattle (where they slid the roof on halfway through the game) and the Metrodome in MSP which is some weird cloth that they keep “afloat” with pressurized air. Word. PLAY BALL!
