Going to the Ballpark!

If this post is a little giddier than normal, I apologize. But I just went online and got tickets to see the Phillies play an actual baseball game live and in-person!

I got a pair of seats for April 21, a 1 p.m. start against Gabe Kapler and the San Francisco Giant. My last game was June 29, 2019, so it will be 663 days between seeing games in person.

I can't even begin to express how excited I am. I had tickets for Opening Day last year, but we all know what happened with that. And since the chances of attending the Home Opener this year look slim to none, I'll take what I can get. I've been smiling non-stop since the transaction went through. 

I don't have a problem with just 8,800 people allowed in the building during a pandemic. I feel the distance between other fans and the fact that I'll be wearing and mask and fully vaccinated make it pretty safe. If, however, I had the chance to go to Opening Day at full capacity, I'd have to think twice about it. That's what the Texas Rangers are doing, which is kind of hard to believe. 

I'm still working on getting into the ballpark for Opening Day. If anyone can help me out, please let me know. Just respond to my Facebook post at facebook.com/jeff.lyons or DM me on Twitter at twitter.com/JeffLyons. I'll take all the help I can get. 

But for now, I'm excited about going to the game on 4/21, and will begin obsessing over the long-range weather forecast as soon as I post this,

Unapologetically Awful
