Play Ball!

Saturday was double-header night at the Charlotte Knights stadium. Our new home team, the Knights, played the Toledo Mud Hens. Yes, the same Toledo Mud Hens that Klinger from M.A.S.H. always rooted for! The Knights won the first game and the Dirt Chickens won the second. Proceeds from tickets sales and a silent auction during the game went to Charlotte Radiology to fund breast cancer research, to the tune of over $12,000!

D played his well-earned role as token male

to the group of lovely ladies below.

Andrea, me, Darci and Kiki.

Yes, I am sporting my Padres jersey.

I have to represent, even in the South!

We each got free pink baseballs and ate way too many sweets!

Cotton Candy is a must at all baseball games!

The Knights wore pink jerseys in support of breast cancer research. The jerseys were auctioned during the game to raise additional funds.

Even the Knights mascot, Homer the Dragon, showed his support.

The national anthem was sung by the boys and girls choir from a local elementary school and the crowd sang along. The after game fireworks were awesome and D & I played frisbee in parking lot as we waited for the sea of brakelights to meander on down the road. It was a great night of friends, baseball, sugar-highs, home town hero's, home runs, cheering, hot dogs, booing and people-watching. We're already looking into season tickets. See you at the game!
