"Ha! You stink!" cried the dyslexic hecklers
Special thanks to the Brewers' field security guy assigned to the patch of grass in front of our section for A) Tossing a game ball to my daughter and her friend (they were thrilled); and B) Putting the "dudes" in our section on notice to watch their language in deference to the presence of kids.
What a terrific ambassador for the sport and the Brewers - - who won, by the way, 1-0 (I've never been closer to a major league double play than the beauty Bill Hall turned at third).
Sometimes it's the little things that win ball games and make a ball park great.
Ha! That's pretty funny. My husband was at the game last night too. He didn't mention "Snitker" though.
As much as it is nice having a covered stadium, I miss County Stadium. I just loved the feel of it and how close you were to the field. We went to a lot more games back when my kids were young. And they were thrown, and also caught many fly balls. I'd say Fenway park resembles County Stadium the most now, except for the Green Monster! Plus the food is different there.
Anyway...I'm glad your daughter and her friend had a good time.

I like County Stadium, too, but only as nostalgia. Miller Park is so superior in terms of what you can do with young kids, and it's great to be abler to loiter out in that concourse down the right field line. You couldn't do anything like that at County Stadium.
I'm happy to pay my Stadium Tax.
