Baseball Mash-Up

Red Wing Stadium in Rochester, New York
Red Wing Stadium in Rochester, New York

Our neighbors suggested a baseball game and we couldn’t think of a good reason to not take them up on it so the four of us bought tickets on the first base side and prepared for action. The Wings scored five runs in the first inning. Rick and Monica were still downstairs buying beer. And then the game pretty much settled down. They have so many distractions, “Kiss Cams” and “Gangnam Style Cams,” life size bobble heads, idiotic games, crazy snippets of Gary Glitter or Queen songs and patriotic salutes between each half inning that it is next to impossible to get in the groove of the old fashioned game. Top of the ninth was a big one for the Syracuse Chiefs and Rochester almost lost it.

Ads everywhere, every activity is backed by a sponsor. Foul balls cued a glass break sound effect and an ad for a glass company. The scoreboard was brought to us by Baldness.com.
