The highlight of Saturday
was going with Dad and some friends to a play-off baseball
game between two Venezuelan teams. Before the game, we
wandered through the vendor fair near the stadium and I
bought a hat and had it monogrammed. We had great seats two
rows behind the first-base dugout. The best part was
watching the people. One fellow with a straw hat spent the
whole time screaming at the players. We were sure he was
going to lose his voice but he didn't. Dad liked watching
fans jump out of the stands and run around the field before
security got them. I think he counted 28. Some were very
drunk adults and some were precocious kids. The game ended
with some exciting action in a two-inning overtime.
When the Caracas team finally won, beer was thrown high and
far by the energetic fans. It was neat to get caught up in
the excitement of the crowd and I am sure the whole thing
will be considered a highlight of dad's trip. |
