Mississippi Braves Game

My parents' first date was at a baseball game...solidifying the importance of baseball in our family.

My dad, especially, enjoys going to games - little league, college, minor league, MLB - he loves them all.

We decided to head out to Pearl, MS to catch a Mississippi Braves game while I was home.

I would be lying if I didn't admit that one of my favorite parts of a baseball game is the food.  For some reason, when I'm in a ballpark, I do not feel guilty about eating snacks that I would normally not touch.  Chalk it up to nostalgia from childhood...or maybe the smells of freshly popped popcorn are just too much to ignore!

We sat very close!

I finished the evening with (what else?) a Tiger's Blood snow cone!

We had a great time!
