Baseball May Term 2011: Day 18: "I mean I'll tell them if their shoe is untied.."

We started the day off with some more class wiffle ball, this time taking place in the parking lot outside of the Nationals stadium. Steph and I didn’t play but luckily some kids that were watching the boys play stepped in. Shout outs to Jordan and Nick! Jordan was the younger of the two I believe and he was probably one of the best players out there. I bet he’ll be an MLB all star one day and then we can all say we watched him play wiffle ball in a parking lot. After that, we found our seats which were split up today into two groups of four and one group of two. When Dr. Bob was handing out the tickets, Steph and I were the two to get seats in the 200s, so of course we were feeling a little shafted. However, our seats were AWESOME. Right behind home plate, cushioned seats, access to a special air-conditioned eating and lounge area, in the shade...it was so legit. What was also legit is that Danny got himself picked for one of the games on the big screen and he won! His competition didn't even have a chance. The Nationals, on the other hand, DID have a chance but couldn't pull out the win and lost to the Padres with a final score of 2-1.

Luckily for our class, Kyle has a hookup with a VP at the stadium (his dad’s friend’s cousin...haha) and we were able to go out onto the field after the game! We even got to go sit in the dugout which was really cool. After leaving the stadium, we headed back to the hotel, got some dinner at the Honey Bee again, watched poor Madison’s pie get knocked to the dirt by Bill, and then had class. And now, here I am, getting caught up on my blogging. Sorry for the long delay – it’s been a really busy week and the wireless hasn’t been so great. I’ll try to be more on top of it during our last week of class!
