Watching Baseball With Rerun
Monday was the Mariners’ opening day! And Auntie was working the game as a ball girl! It was an afternoon game, so Rerun and I watched the game by ourselves (Ane and Tad were at school, and Thumper was napping). This resulted in some very funny comments by Rerun.
“Strike four!” (Me: “There is no strike four!’) “Was it strike five?”
“He got a hit! HOME RUN!” (Me: “That was a double!”) “WOO-HOO, DOUBLE RUN!”
“GO SEAHAWKS!” (Me: “This is baseball, not football! You say ‘Go Mariners!'”) “GO MARINERS!”
“Ball four! HE’S OUT!”
“I see Auntie!!!”
And yes, that really was her, fielding a ball in the bottom of the 8th inning!
The Mariners won, which was even more exciting! They did lose yesterday, but the season is young. Rerun has a lot to learn about baseball this year!
