Last night Travalon, two of the Rosary Ladies, and I went
to a Mallards game. It was Fan Appreciation Night, and I was led to believe
there would be much free swag and tremendous sales at the team store, but we
were not one of the lucky people who got free stuff, and the sales in the store
before the game were nothing too exciting. We did each buy a 50/50 raffle
ticket, since it was for a good cause, a local day center for the homeless. The
game was a blowout: the Mallards kept scoring runs, and the Battle Creek
Bombers never even had one run. During the fifth inning Travalon and I went
down to get an ear of corn, and at first they said they were all out, but then
they said there was one left, so we said we could split it. When the guy handed
it to me, he said, “Would you like corn with this?” I was kind of like, “Whuh?”
and some people who were sitting in front of us happened to be standing around
waiting for funnel cakes, and they laughed. The guy actually meant to ask if we
wanted butter, so the other people said to me, “Did he ask if you wanted corn
with your butter?” but I said, “It was more like he asked if I wanted corn with
my corn!” I said it was kind of like Travalon liking his own like. When we got
back to our seats, Luxuli and OK Cap were also just coming back, and we all
missed the number for the 50/50 drawing! But then the people sitting behind us,
who also bought tickets, said the winning number started with a 39, and all our
tickets started with a 95. Then they announced everything in the store would be
25% off, so after the game (which ended quite early for a baseball game), the
four of us went down to the store and bought a bunch of stuff. I’m all set for
the playoff game next week! But I suppose they will face the Rafters again, and
they haven’t beaten them yet this year while we were watching…
