She’s Learning Her Colors

by Nicole November 9, 2009 Baseball Games

Yesterday my dad took Chiquita to the grocery store. Apparently, he asked her which “car cart” she wanted to drive/ride in. Her choices were red and blue. Now, let me point out that this is the girl that almost always responds with a confident “yellow!” when asked what color something is, regardless of what it [...]

The Culture of Baseball

by Nicole August 20, 2009 Baseball Randomness

One of the things I love about the sport of baseball is the culture that goes along with it. The love of the game goes beyond the nine innings and the twenty-five man roster.

by Nicole June 7, 2009 Baseball Road Trippin'

So, unfortunately we had to cancel our game in St. Louis due to Chiquita’s virus. She was feeling much better after a day of rest in Chicago (see photo above), but we didn’t want to put her through a slightly grueling day of driving to St. Louis, watching a game, and then driving to our [...]

Padres at Dodgers~ May 1, 2009

by Nicole May 29, 2009 Ballpark Reviews

We had a great time as usual at Dodger Stadium! This was our first time taking a toddler, and despite the age of the stadium, it was pretty doable with a stadium. A couple of downfalls for a young fan was the lack of elevators (only a couple at the whole place!) and unfortunately no [...]

Dodger Stadium Tour

by Nicole May 16, 2009 Stadium Tour Guide

Ballpark tours are such a fun way to learn more about the game and its history and get a behind-the-scenes look at a particular team. It’s also a great way to get excited for a new season and to get a little baseball fill during the off-season.
Here’s the photo album from the tour we went [...]
