Reds High Hopes

Sunday was a wonderful day of fellowship with Family, Friends and Community at the Red's Game.  Susan, Ellen, Teddy and Wes got to see the Red's win against the Atlanta Braves sitting out in right field with the Armstrong Church and Madisonville Braves community.  It reminded me of June 16, 2019 with Ellen doing the same thing (thank goodness for easy inquiry of Google Photos).  

All in the cost for the day was $250-$300 (tickets, parking, concessions) so it is hard for me to understand how families can afford even going to ball games now. But on an entertainment hourly basis that is $15/hr per person and in that light maybe reasonable.  

More importantly, the real entertainment is seeing the excitement of a 3 and 5 year old experience their first major league baseball game.  A family in front of us even had their own sign indicating that for their children trying to get on the jumbo tron. 

Teddy brought his glove and had high hopes.  There was a Red's homerun near us in the seventh inning but too far to catch.  Still - very exciting.
