Baseball

When Dave and I started dating, the Mets were playing the Yankees in the World Series. I was a Yankee fan and Dave has always rooted for the Mets.  The Yankees won that series, but shortly after Dave and I got married, I stopped watching baseball altogether because I could never get through a whole game and it drove me a little nuts.  I even tried to get into the Mets, but I wasn’t that into it.

I should say, Dave never had time to get through a whole game either, but he knew the game a lot better than I did, so getting interrupted or distracted during the game didn’t bother him too much.  Also, his Mets fandom was far more ingrained than my Yankee leanings.  I just got into it in the late 90’s when the Yankees were fantastic and I lived in New York City so I could go to the games often. Back then, the bleacher seats were $7. It was cheaper than a movie.  So awesome!  But I digress…

Dave did watch bits and pieces of games with the boys and now Mikey loves baseball and Will is a huge Mets fan, studying Sports Media in college. Our family has been to a bunch of baseball games and Mikey LOVES them! We’ve done mostly Mets games, but we have also seen the Nationals and the Orioles while on road trips.

When I look back on this journal entry, with Mikey cuddled up with Dave, eating his panda puffs cereal right out of the bag, it warms my heart.  Is there anything better than baseball with your dad? Definitely not!  Way to seize the summer, guys!
