I went to Nationals Stadium this afternoon to catch the final Spring Training game of the season. The local team was taking on my home team, the Baltimore Orioles, for the event.
Of course, I'd been watching the forecast since last Friday. Yes, rain was on the radar. Even so, I felt optimistic.
As we got out of the car, Tracey asked, "Did you bring a raincoat?"
"No," I smiled, "I'm hopeful."
Hopefulness did not win today. Neither did either team that came to play.
The rain continued, and eventually, the weather delay turned into a cancellation.
Although the afternoon may not have gone as planned, I got to hang out with a friend, eat a ballpark hotdog, and get excited about the upcoming baseball season.
Let's go, O's!
My favorite part was when you told the beer guy it was too early, and he said, "I knew I shouldn't believe what they told me about Orioles fans!"

ReplyDeleteTotally jealous of your experience today. What fun the two of you had. And, isn't it never too early for a beer? :)
