Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

On a cool Spring evening, there is no better activity than participating in the ultimate American past-time: baseball. A generous friend gave me some tickets for tonight's Mets game, and so I took Jon and another friend to watch.

Despite a forecast for possible rain and thunder, it ended up a beautiful evening with temperatures in the mid-60s and not a cloud in the sky.

The new-ish CitiField!

We had seats 27 rows from the field, in prime foul ball territory past 3rd base. Images of being beaned in the head by a line drive while eating a hot dog danced in my head. One foul ball did indeed make it very close to us, landing about 10 rows in front. A brief but enthusiastic tussle ensued as fans dived madly for the ball. Jon and I wisely did not join the fray (though he was disappointed when the t-shirt guns didn't come our way later).

Yuens at a baseball game!

A very relaxing, and very fun way to spend an evening!
