I went to my first ever baseball game yesterday. I think my future baseball viewing experiences have been completely ruined. The tickets were cheap, ($6), beer cheaper, ($2.50), and the entertainment untopable! All fans had boom-sticks that they enthusiastically beat together in a rhythm set by our very own Cheer Master. If that wasn't enough incentive for the crowd to keep cheering, there were two actual cheerleaders to keep our boom-stick banging going. Next time I think I'll sit on the opposing side for a short while just to see the masses of Bears Fans all moving their sticks to the right, left, up and down, at the same time. The Doosan Bears did their best to get the attention of the crowd. They hit numerous foul balls into the stands, fumbled many catches, scored a few runs and hit a home-run ball; all of which I caught in momentary glimpses when the Cheer Leader would redirect the crowd to watch the game. What an experience!
Doosan Bears Cheerleaders!
The Cheer Master Himself!
Percussion Section!
Fans of all shapes and sizes!
7th Inning Stretching. Loren explained to me that in the US, players don't normally go out on the field and stretch. Lost in translation?
Crystal and Shua were featured on the Jumbo tron. They were challenged to dance, and boy did they! They were then called down to the front for some sort of prize... we don't know what they won yet but some lady took a picture of them, took down their names and our school's address.
"And now for the pitch!"
After careful explanation from the Hagima store owner, Loren understands how to use the boom sticks.
The Olympic Stadium! I ran a 10k last year that finished inside. It was very cool. It's right next door to the baseball stadium.
