Last night, Andrea and I had the opportunity to attend an Atlantic City Surf baseball game. They beat the Sussex Skyhawks with a score of 12 to 2. Here are some of the game highlights (and some lowlights interspersed for good measure):
- Splash, the AC Surf alligator mascot driving a tractor around the field at the beginning of the first inning
- Ryan, a youngster from St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Stone Harbor (one of the two churches I'll be serving beginning July 30th), racing Splash around the bases after the third inning - Ryan won! Way to go!
- Splash shooting baseballs out of a popper-gun and a young girl trying to catch the baseballs in a pair of over-sized sweatpants provided by the ballpark . . . this must be an odd New Jersey custom as I've never seen anything like it before! In any event, she "caught" one out of three
- A mother and her two daughters rolling the Comcast dice (which was nearly as big as they were) three times to see if they could win an iPod - they could not.
- Father John and I posing for a picture with Splash
- See #3 except this time a young boy had to catch the three balls in a butterfly net - and he did!
- The world's slowest fastest ice cream eating context
- Sussex Skyhawk pitcher (#24) hitting at least 4 players with his pitches and still staying in the game! Makes you wonder how bad the other pitchers must have been!
- Eating a funnel cake, lightly dusted with powdered sugar, with Andrea
- Meeting some fun folks from St. Mary's
- Fireworks after the 3+ hour game
