Ranger Baseball

This week I got a chance to go to a baseball game with some new work friends the Texas Rangers played the Detroit Tigers. I am not typically a huge baseball fan I tend to view baseball season a the lull before football season starts. I can occasionally enjoy a baseball game but I have been watching more of the games on TV these days. I can be a huge sports fan and I am rooting for Rangers to win the world series this year. 

Walking up to the ballpark

 We had some pretty good seats right off the third base foul line on the third deck. I will be the first to admit it was a little on the warm side when we first got there but I adjusted to the heat pretty soon.

The view from my seat while I ate hotdogs and drank a bud light or two.

 We watched the majority of the game from the third deck but once the sun went down and more people had left we moved ourselves down to the first deck right behind home plate. Now this is how I could enjoy baseball, the view was the most fantastic thing I have seen in a while.

You could really see the action, this was amazing. It was also much much cooler down in these seats.

At the bottom center of this pic you can see just the top of a woman's head. She was wearing a red visor that said mom with the O being a baseball. She also had the most fantastic bangs over the top of her visor. I had already taken the pics by the time I noticed or I would have gotten an even better shot of this true Texas style.

I really enjoyed the game that night there was so much awesomeness happening at the game. The lady with the awesome bangs, there was a guy behind us talking about how much he and his family spent on dinner and his wife wondered if they would have grilled their veggie dogs up for Dollar Hot-dog night. I had a good little laugh about that one and then realized that a veggie dog was probably better than the two hotdogs that I ate.

The view from the good seats that we sat in at the end of the game.

Anytime the rangers scored these four girls ran across this patch of grass with their Texas flags. This was pretty awesome to watch although I do wander how much they get paid for this ridiculousness. 

Next to the guy in the red down by the field is NOLAN RYAN the owner  of the Rangers. I saw him pitch once as a child and he was fantastic but it was amazing to see him again.

All in all it was a fantastic game to watch, the Rangers won 13-9! So this was a good game to become a true Texas Ranger's Fan! I am sure that there will be more games in my future and hopefully I will get to sit a little lower down because that is how I truly enjoy the game.
