So you all may or may not remember, or you may be new to the
blog so if so… welcome, but last year my son Evan won an annual award from his
school for being the Most Improved Student. What you get for this besides the
obvious learning ramifications is a free ticket and food at the Chattanooga
Lookouts AT&T Field. Well Evan won again this year so we made our second
trip to Chattanooga on Wednesday night to watch the Lookouts take on the
Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
Last year Evan’s little brother, Hayden, was a little too
young to attend the game but this time around he made the trip with us for his
first baseball game. Boy did Hayden have a good time. The chants, the mascots,
the game and of course the hot dogs and ice cream he was a huge fan of. Plus at
Minor League games the kids can be kids and aren’t confined to a small, cramped
seat surrounded by thousands of people. It was nice and the boys had a great
time. Evan almost caught a foul ball too but he missed it by about 10 feet,
maybe next time kid!
It really is a great time. They have lots of things to keep
you entertained in-between innings and such and the atmosphere is just nice. I
love it there. I loved seeing old Yankees in new places like Angelo Gumbs, Matt
Tracy, Nik Turley, Eric Jagielo and others along with new faces that I had
never seen before. Nick Gordon was the starting second baseman for the Lookouts
and Paul Clemens started the game which was cool to see live.
It was just a really enjoyable experience and I fully
recommend it for anyone who is in the neighborhood. Next time though it’s going
to be with you. Hey you. I love you.
