Brewers-Cubs, Sunday

By admin  

The first three innings were exciting, then things dulled down for a while, and then the last inning had some suspense. In the end, the Cubs prevailed by a score of 4 to 2, avoiding the sweep.

On the way in, I snapped a shot of a couple of the Klements Racing Sausages, who were getting swarmed by lots of kids:Note: The italian sausage won the race. This was the first time this year that I saw someone BESIDES THE HOT DOG winning the race.

In honor of Mother’s Day, several of the players used pink bats and/or wore pink wristbands.

When the Cubs took the lead, Jenelle was pretty excited:
One of the most poignant moments of the game came after a near disaster. An errant line drive zoomed into the crowd. The ball bounced off someone and ended up in another section. While we couldn’t see everything that happened, it appeared that a young boy (probably in the 7-9 years old range) was hit. Thankfully, there were no visible signs of injury. He was sobbing loudly and clutching his father — my guess is that he was more startled and scared than actually hurt. Here’s the amazing part. The ball, which was about a section away, was passed back to the boy, resulting in applause from everyone. He certainly deserved to keep that souvenir.

It was a great weekend, but I think I need some time off from attending live baseball games for a while. 🙂
