Take Me Out to the Ballgame

This last weekend I enjoyed a great trip out to the ballpark. We headed out to Jackson, MS to watch the AA Atlanta Braves team play again. This time though, we took a crowd! This last weekend was the last home games for the Mississippi Braves and I wanted to be there.

We headed up a little early to stop at Time Out Bar and Grill, supporters of the Mississippi Braves. We had some appetizers, played some darts, and got ready for the game. For all of you wondering, my partner Sarah and I beat all the guys in the dart tournament which made for some great banter the rest of the night.

We headed on to the game and it was packed! Saturday was Fan Appreciation Day with 5 dollar tickets and 1 dollar hot dogs and drinks.  We placed ourselves out in the picnic area and had a great time making friends with the left fielders. The opposing team's left fielder was way more fun to yell at and talk with as he continued to yell back at us (maybe because they were winning) and even came to sign the ball that he threw to Keith during the game. We had fun tweeting at him and he even retweeted and tweeted me back! (It's the little things in life)



      Keith had two balls thrown to him!

The game was a hit and we all had so much fun! We got out of there with two baseballs thrown to us, a raffle winner of a grill set, fireworks and multiple souvenir cups! I am very glad we could enjoy the last home games of baseball season.
