A's vs Twins

On Saturday my dad treated us all to an A's baseball game. We went and watched the Oakland Athletics play the Minnesota Twins.

Its always exciting to see sports games live. There is something about seeing the field and the players in the flesh, or maybe is the fans decked out in colors cheering their teams on, or maybe its the smell of hot dogs and the stadiums giant enclosure; whatever it is... its an amazing feeling!?

We decked out in A's green and yellow and headed out with my father, step-mother, sister, grandma and grandpa. We had good seats behind first plate! I had a hot dog and beer just to make sure I wasn't dreaming and was still American deep down somewhere! hehe!!

The game was pretty boring. The twins ended up ahead by one run .. UNTIL the bottom of the 9th. We are talking runners on 1st and 2nd with 2 strikes and 2 balls. The game was almost over!! When one of the A's took the plate and bunted while the runner on 2nd ran and smacked into the 3rd baseman who missed the ball so the runner ran home and so did the one that was on 1st!! YEP WE WON THE GAME IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9th!!! It was so exciting and rarity to see in the flesh! I'm so glad we went!

After the game was a fireworks show. They opened the Field up for the fans to go sit and lay on while they watched the fireworks and it was crazy!! We sat in our seats watching the fans crowd the field like herded cattle!! There wasn't a spot open when the show started!! It was a great show that was matched to great music from different eras. My sister and I sang along while we sat in amazement watching the fireworks burst into the most amazing colors!!
