The rest of the food came for the others and soon the game had started. The announcement of the starting lineups. There was the national anthem. And then the home team was announced again as they took the field amidst the cheers of the crowd. A little boy yelled, "Play ball!" And the visiting team had their first batter step up to the plate.
Watching a game in person wasn't comparable to watching it on tv. For one, in person, I could constantly hear the crowd. Little side conversations going on behind me and both sides of me. Some chatter wasn't even decipherable. Next, there wasn't any commercials in between the switching of offense and defense. We were able to watch them jog in and the other team jog out.
"Isn't this exciting?" Noah asked as we went into the bottom of the first. The A's were able to have a clean first inning.
