PGE park Home of the Portland Beavers

Mitch, Jen, Connor, and Katie enjoying the hottest day of 2010 (86 degrees) at a baseball game

Started in row 7 just behind third base...we moved up so we would have room...

Connor making the picture perfect...and Jen...in baseball heaven (and would have killed, mamed, beaten me if I didn't crop her out...let's just say if I left her in the picture you would have thought it was 50 cent beer night - NO LIMIT)

THINGS WE LEARNED LAST NIGHT -

• There is something worse than a veggie burger ...veggie hot dog
• Umpires are people too...the just make more mistakes at work than the rest of us...and don't get fired for doing so.
• Umpires can toss coaches...coaches can't toss umpires - no matter had bad of job they are doing
• the best night to see baseball is the night AFTER fireworks night
• Kraft singles BOGO night is also a great night to go...(this is same for Salt Lake's baseball games - talk to me)
• Mitch is loud
• Connor should not eat snowcones while wearing a white shirt.
• Ticket booth operators - even with fancy computers can't figure out that if I have 2 kraft wrappers that get me a buy-one-get-one ---should be 4 tickets for the price of 2 and not 4 tickets for the price of 3.
• Connor is an illegal candy smuggler.
• Baseball food is way more expensive than movie food.
• Some baseball players will never exceed past AAA baseball.
• This family will miss the baseball games after this year (MLS soccer takes over the stadium) and the baseball team has no where to go...next closest place it 2 hour drive.
