"Go to a Phillies game" was on our must-do Philly list, so D and I coordinated our schedules and last night was the winning date for us to head to a game. Let's face it, I'm really not much of a baseball fan . . . it's just SOOO boring (aside to Rachael, the super Cubs fan: I know, complete blasphemy, right? But I'm pretty sure you already knew this about me.) My trips to professional sports teams basically revolve around the food that I can eat while at the ballpark/sports arena/etc. I scoped out the food choices at Citizens Bank Park and already had a good idea what I'd get -- on my ballgame menu? A veggie dog, a 16-oz Miller Lite, a soft pretzel (shared with D), and a mini-helmet full of soft-serve ice cream. Delish. Apparently Citizens Bank Park is one of the top veggie-friendly baseball stadiums. Who knew?
The best part of the game was watching the Phillie Phanatic harass players and dance around on the field. (I think I totally need one of these.) That would be an interesting job to have. In the end, the Phillies won (yay!) -- thus preventing the Washington Nationals from sweeping the series. Hmmm . . . when we attended the Sixers game they beat the Lakers; when we went to the Phillies game, they won . . . perhaps we are the lucky charms? : )
