My mother bought us all tickets to the Reno Aces game. I am almost always willing to go to a baseball game, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was hesitant. I suppose it is a residual teenage thing, worrying if it is possible to have fun with your family. I did! We stuffed our faces with hot dogs, ice cream, lemonades, etc. Angie came along as well. I don’t understand how anyone could not have fun at a baseball game. The Reno Aces were actually playing the Tacoma Rainiers, the Mariner’s farm team. I was wondering why I saw so many fellow M’s fans there. It was hard to cheer for the Rainiers, but I felt obliged to. They had a couple of recognizable Mariners: Rob Johnson, Justin Smoak, Mike Carp. Boyfriend had gone to a Mariners game at Yankee stadium and made me ever-so-proud by cheering for the M’s, wearing his Ichiro shirt that I had bought him. I’m sure he got death glares, so it would just have been too hypocritical for me to not cheer for the Rainiers.
