Although we already made it to two Brewer games before my show opened, the official summer baseball season began last week when we headed down to St. Louis to enjoy our Christmas Present from Pete's parents. Tuesday night we drove down to Beloit to start our weekend vacation with a Snappers game. 
The Snappers were playing the Cardinals team, the Quad Cities River Bandits and it was typical A-Ball in April. Cold.
At first pitch there were 14 people in the stands - I love the picture of granny with her umbrella and cracker jack in front of the big sign that says it's fun to be a fan! Pete was in a contest to see how far you could hit a whiffle ball - the first picture is Pete calling his shot! We are pretty hard core fans and even though the temperature was supposed to be 40 degrees, it felt more like 20. The River bandits were winning 13-1, so we left after the 7th inning stretch. The Bandits went on to win 15-2.
Wednesday we headed down to St. Louis for our Christmas present - watching the Cardinals beat the mets 12-8 from Homers Landing, an all inclusive party deck in Center field. We had a great time, the seats were fantastic and the game was great. We saw Albert and Rick Ankiel hit home runs.
It was 82 degrees and a perfect day to spend in the ballpark.
