Angie and Mike's Blog

Angie and I took Antonio to a baseball game a couple of weeks ago. Antonio and I also went to a game last night, which reminded me that I had these snaps from our first game. Either because I was too busy or too lazy the past few days, I didn't do a thing with those pictures. So, here they are.


The fire department had a truck on display in the parking lot and was spraying water for the kids to play in. I told Antonio that I would if he would but he didn't want to. Just as well.


The Wranglers will give BBBS Littles a free box seat if their Big buys one. So Angie and I figured $20 for two chairbacks or $15 for three GA was well worth the extra five bucks. And it didn't hurt that the seats were right behind the home team dugout. The seats were great, but the lousy dugouts are part of the reason Wichita may not have a home team next year.


Angie tried to snap Antonio's picture but he tried to hide behind a bag of peanuts.


OK. I'll play along. I'll photograph the peanuts. "They're just peanuts," Antonio said, somewhat confused that I'd make such an image.


I like LD. Mostly, I like the view of the skyline. What I don't like is the half turf/half grass field. I know it's a maintanence issue, but if the city ever improves the players' clubhouse and dugouts, replacing the field with field turf would be a nice move, too.


Antonio likes the games. I have a feeling that we'll go to a couple more this summer.


Free fireworks after Saturday home games!


I shot these with my camera balanced between my knees with my feet propped up on the seats in front of us.


Each shot is about a one second exposure.


Next week, I want to shoot the fireworks from somewhere outside the stadium. Perhaps from the Lincoln Street bridge. Or maybe somewhere near the Keeper of the Plains.
