We got free tickets to the Royals doubleheader last night. Geoff, Kevin, Dan and I hung out in the parking lot for the first half of the first game before going inside.
My camera took a bit of a beating last night. After I took the above shot, I tried to take a timed shot off the convertible top of Dan’s Jeep instead of the hood. I wanted more stadium in the picture. The camera fell off as a car was pulling into the space next to us. It was about two inches away from getting crushed under a moving tire. The camera took another severe blow later, but I’ll wait for the relevant picture.
The four of us went through a twenty pack in the parking lot. This led to full bladders and moist pavement.
We were starving by the time we got inside. I opted for the Jumbo Pretzel. They put an obscene amount of salt on these pretzels. I had to scrape most of it off. Look how much ended up on my leg.
The kid in front of us was a little conflicted on who to cheer for. I’m guessing he would go home happy regardless of who won the games.
Notice how amazing our seats were?
My favorite vendor and Stephen Keaton (Michael Gross) lookalike was on patrol with overpriced beer.
Kevin and I got up to get slightly-less-expensive beers from the concession stand. When we returned, Sluggerrr was in our aisle. I was carrying two beers, so it was tough reaching for my camera. As I clutched both beers in my left arm, I threw my camera to Geoff to get pictures of us. I missed by about a row. The camera hit a seat and skidded on the pavement. That didn’t stop my camera from capturing our absolute glee at the sight of Sluggerrr.
Believe it or not, things got even better. One of those hotdog/t-shirt launch people threw us some bracelets sponsoring an important cause: Royals baseball.
I’m guessing they don’t usually shoot their wad of bracelets on three drunk guys sitting together. I think they had a hard time finding people in the seats.
Dan was gone while we got our bracelets. But his disappointment disappeared into a Polish sausage and Sheboygan mouth orgy.
The Royals lost both games. This makes them 0-5 in games with me in attendance. Buck Night tonight will be quite the scene. Hopefully I can get us a win this time.
a couple things…..
1. I appear to be about 5 feet tall, maybe even less, in that first picture. To all the readers, I am more like 5’10”.
2. God, I love those Sluggerrr pics. I’m amazed your camera survived that toss.
3. Remember when Kevin doubted we could get the piss stream to flow across the lane in the parking lot. We showed him.
1. I’m liking how tall I look in the picture. Thank God for that hood slant.
2. Sluggerrr was badass.
3. Yes we did. Although, I wasn’t really in on that bet. I guess I played my part, though.
You just keep rubbing it in that I haven’t been to a baseball game yet this year.
Keep it up, dude. Keep it up.
In less than 2 weeks, I’ll be back in KC.
