Birthday Baseball
Mary’s company has nice season tickets for the Phillies and offers them to the employees. Naturally, choice of games is based on the corporate hierarchy, so the peons get the least favorable games to choose from, but Mary was able to secure tix on her 26th bday, so we joined The Fitzes along with Ron and Katie to celebrate.
We showed up a little early this time, so we got to see some of the pregame festivities such as c-list child vocal trio singing the national anthem and c-list multiple-time reality show loser throwing out the first pitch.
The game was pretty typical baseball boringness. We left after the 9th inning and were pleased that we didn’t wait around until the 11th to see the Phils finally lose. The seats were great, though, and the prospect of free tickets and free parking made the dire cost of beer seem less offensive.
We also had someone come sing happy birthday to Mary (and douse her with confetti) and put Mary’s name up on the big board. It was somewhat amusing to see a 26 year old named alongside a lot of 5 and 6s.
Singing to Mary. The SKII did not handle the backlight situation well at all.
Confetti:
I assure you it has Mary’s name! You’ll just have to trust me.
