Ball game
Speaking of baseball. Lillian went to her first ballgame last night with Mary and me, using our neighbor Cy’s season tickets. Lillian was able to stay awake until about 10, not a record but an impressive performance anyway. Sadly, she fell asleep just before the streaker, so she missed out on the most exciting on-field action, as they say. He seemed to be having a better time than most of the players or fans.
The game itself was tedious even for baseball, 0 to 0 through the 11th inning, which is when we left (and a good thing; I heard it ended up running an otherwise uneventful 16 innings), but we had a great time goofing around and talking and making friends with the fans around us. People do like babies. I’m not surprised any more when I’m walking around with Lillian and some of the roughest-looking guys give me a friendly nod or a thumbs-up, or even come up and ask about her age and weight. Even at the ballpark. Maybe especially at the ballpark.
