Rangers Game

Saturday night we all went to the Rangers game! (Mom, Dad, Jason, Summer, Elijah, Brad, Nova, Matt and me! Judah didn't go - late night!) It was the second game in the series against the Yankees. Here is Elijah and me in the car on the way to the game:



We had seats way up in the third deck, but they were pretty good! In the 5th inning it started raining so there ended up being a one hour rain delay. This picture is actually them UNcovering the field, but oh well. :)

We had some really obnoxious people sitting around us. A man was there for his bachelor party because he is getting married next weekend. He was 60 years old. There was one guy in particular who was with them that was REALLY obnoxious. He kept yelling and cursing and holding up his sign right in front of our faces (so we couldn't see the field) and was just annoying. There ended up being a slight confrontation because Summer finally had to ask him to watch what he was saying and he got very defensive. Him and one of his friends were yelling things back and forth to each other that were inappropriate. Summer, Nova and my dad all ended up asking him kindly, but firmly to stop. He was a jerk but luckily after that conversation that whole group got up and left to go to a bar. I was happy with that! The game was much more enjoyable after that. :)

The game came down to the 9th inning. The Rangers were down by one run going into the bottom of the 9th. So, of COURSE, we had to put on our rally caps!

The Rangers scored a run to tie the game. Then, they had the bases loaded with one out. The batter gets up to the plate and..... he gets hit by the pitch! I think it took everyone a second or two to figure out that that won the game for the Rangers! We all went nuts! :) I LOVE watching the Rangers win, ESPECIALLY against the Yankees. :)

The game didn't end until after midnight (again) so we didn't get back to Gainesville until 2:30am. That made it difficult to get up for church the next morning. ;-)

We had a good time and it was great to get to see everyone! It was definitely a tiring weekend, but it was a good one!
