Burlington Bees

I'm not a huge baseball fan.  In fact, I think the game is kind of boring to watch.  There are exceptions but I don't often find a game that gets me on the edge of my seat.  Burlington has an A farm team for the Angels.  Last night was their Dollar night.  It cost us each $2 to get in since we're not yet seniors.  Hot dogs, popcorn and soda were all a dollar.  We decided to go.  The Mensels picked us up and off we went.  There were several missionary couples there when we arrived and more and more just kept showing up.  I was shocked at the number of temple missionaries that came.

After sitting for 10 minutes or so, the FM employees and missionaries began to show up.  It was fun to see them interacting with one another away from the office and see their personalities really open up.  The above photo was the best we could do as far as FM. 
Between innings there were games being played by individuals whose names were drawn.  Since we bought a program, we had the stubs in which to fill out people's names to participate.  When it came to the Sumo game, Ben and Barant from our office were chosen.  They each wore one of those inflatable bubbles and had to try to knock one another down.  It was fun to watch them.

A guy came and was throwing T-shirts into the crowd and look who got one.  Pat and Barant posed for this picture.  Barant isn't this short, he's standing on a lower tier of the bleachers.  Jordan's son kept going out and finding foul balls so he had a bunch.  It was a really fun night.  We didn't stay until the end since the game was at a 0-0 tie after the 7th inning.  The Bees ended up winning in the bottom of the 10th 1-0.  I wish their dollar night would have been last week when the Timber Rattlers were in town.  They played the Beloit Snappers instead.  Neither team was very impressive.
