I'm definitely a fair-weather baseball fan, literally. I feel no obligation to be a rabid supporter of any sport that Josh doesn't get paid to coach, so if it's too cold or too hot I'm out. There are about 3 or 4 games per year when it is not too cold or too hot. Yesterday was 75 degrees with a cool breeze, so we were for sure at the baseball field.
These children look sweet and innocent, but they are unaware of baseball etiquette. The baby in front of us started crying after a couple of seconds of Kellen and Bonnie screaming at the tops of their little lungs, "GO TIGERS!!!" (No, guys, these are the Aggies.) "GO AGGIES!!!!" You see, there's not much screaming at baseball games, especially at random times. After the baby started crying, the people in front of us made their opinion known to each other, but of course loud enough for us to hear. What can I say? We got spirit, yes we do!

I seem to remember quite a bit of noise at the Aggie baseball games. Were there not a lot of people there? I can't believe someone was getting upset about a baby crying at a public sporting event outside. It's not like it's the symphony or something. Get over it people.
I think it is AWESOME that you take the whole family out to the ball park. We Robinsons might have to give it a go sometime...who knows, we might just run all the kid-haters to another section!
I'm with Lesley. Aggie baseball games are SUPPOSED to be loud. Don't take your baby to the ballpark if you're hoping he'll nap through the game.
Looks like there were plenty of vacant seats for parents of babies who needed quiet. I'm pretty much annoyed by everything, but small children yelling at a baseball game wouldn't be included in the list. Go, Kellen and Bonnie! And Tigers and Aggies!
This makes me REALLY excited about coming next month. Checking with Clay on the dates so we can get it on the calendar.
I am with you about the fair weather thing. We have yet had the chance to go to a baseball game. It looks like you had fun. Caleb would absolutely love it. (Especially cause he started t-ball yesterday.)
I've never heard of baseball etiquette - and a crying baby? Must be from a culture that didn't have sports or from another planet.
