Baseball!

Today, I've been to my first baseball game ever! That was a lot of fun! San Diego Padres vs. Seattle Mariners. The Padres didn't win, but still... I got to see two homeruns (both by the Padres), and a batter actually broke his bat!!!

Lucky for me, one of my colleagues joined me at the game, and he knows the rules and a lot of general stuff about baseball. I'm a real noob! But now I know a few rules, and the difference between a strike and ball! The only thing I know about baseball was the bases, but only as Meat Loaf uses references in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", and from watching a lot of American movies. :wink:

Other than baseball, a lot of other things have happened lately, but I will write more later.

Ciao! :smile:

I bet it's cool to break a bat. I guess it means you're pretty strong :-D

Yeah! Either that, or the bat is really worn (do you say that in baseball language?) out! :D

I'm glad you got to see your first baseball game. Baseball is my choice of sports and have just started to watch Hockey in the off season.
What is the number one sport where you live?

The number one sport here is football (or soccer as Americans call it). Also skiing is extremely popular.
