Now this is a great way to spend a summer evening - enjoying some good baseball. Several weeks ago the family headed to Arlington for a baseball game with several hundred other ACU alums (and about 34,000 other fans).
When I headed to college five years ago, I decided that I needed to become a sports fan. I've never been a big sports fanatic, so I chose one sport to follow in particular: baseball. My family still looks at me a little strangely whenever I talk about baseball as it seems so atypical for me. Only a few years ago, I would have given you a blank stare if you mentioned RISP, WHIP, RBI or ERA. And honestly, sometimes I surprise myself a little too, because these days I'm a baseball fan.
"I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game. It will take our people out-of-doors, fill them with oxygen, give them a larger physical stoicism. Tend to relieve us from being a nervous, dyspeptic set. Repair these losses, and be a blessing to us." ~Walt Whitman
