Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We took Owen to his first baseball game on Sunday - Rockies vs. Mets. Technically, it was Owen's third baseball game. He went twice while in utero - the first time was about a year ago when the Mets were also in town. Tom Glavine pitched for the Mets who were blown out of town by the Rockies (I forgot who was pitching for the Rockies at that game). The second time was during the playoffs (see the archives from October). Since Owen's great-Vovo lived near Shea Stadium for over 30 years, we thought it was as good a game as any to take him to.

Anyway, Sunday was a hot day but the little guy did GREAT! We got seats in the very last row to protect him from the sun....



...but it was still hot (the car thermometer read 100 degrees!) so we took off his cute uniform.


We bought some peanuts (but no cracker jacks) during the 7th inning stretch. Owen was much more interested in looking at the peanuts than singing the song.


It was one of the quicker games Sean and I have been to recently (Mets won 3-1), but Owen was still exhausted by the end!
