lesbiassparrowFive billion years (or something like that) of living in the US and I finally go to my first baseball game. I just knew there was a reason I'd been avoiding it for so long.
Sorry if you are a mad baseball fan, but this sport manages to make cricket look like a whirlwind of excitement. And that ain't easy. I honestly thought I would kill myself out of sheer boredom by the fifth inning (and I was at a game with people I like and enjoyed talking to). Even worse I could not have unfettered recourse to alcohol because I was driving. Moral: never offer to drive anywhere you may be potentially bored to death.
Also, Dodgers stadium lacks a really good gift shop. It has lots of small ones but nothing to match the Staples' center giant shop of hockey merchandise which is where you can usually send people when they are dying of boredom in a hockey game. Every sporting arena should have one of these as they are quite useful for people who discover they loathe watching live sports.
