Baseball

A member of the Citizens Recovery Committee owns the local AAA team (that will give you some idea that the CRC is not representative of the community). Walter was nice enough to give us two dozen tickets to a recent game against the Albuquerque Isotypes.

I like minor league baseball. It is very family frienly, with kids everywhere. There is even a playground adjacent to the stadium so kids can go play if they get bored. You also get to sit close enough that you feel connected.

Baseball, of course, is not that exciting, by its nature. Minor League even more so. In fact the most exciting thing that happened was a conversation I overheard when I went to the bathroom. From the stall came the stern southern drawl speaking in fatherly tones.

I'm not pulling down your pants, you pull down your own pants.
Well, why did you say you wanted to go potty if you won't pull down your pants.
Now sit down on the toilet, you can't poop unless you sit down.
You have to sit down to poop!
Well why did you say you had to go potty?
Ok, then pull up your pants and lets go.
If you're not going to poop, we are going to go.

I assume there was a child in there who was whispering answers but I can not be sure.
