Baseball Top 10

This is a humorous list that Jackson and I thought of while at the Rockies games that we attended this summer. We tried to make it David Letterman style.

10. Wearing the jersey or a hat of a team not playing in today's game (i.e. a Yankees outfit on your infant or a new Tim Tebow jersey- he plays football, folks, football. I know that being from Iowa is unfair- what with the lackluster education and all- but Iowa was not playing today so there is no need to represent them on your t-shirt) is not OK

9. Just because they're selling fried twinkies and chocolate-covered bacon at the ballgame does not make them acceptable as "ballpark food." That designation is reserved for brats, hotdogs, beer and peanuts.

8. If it is over 90 degrees and seriously sunny perhaps bringing your wife to the game in her 9th month of pregnancy-then telling her she is a wimp- is a bad idea (smooth move, dude in front of us, smooth)

7. Heckling the outfielder only makes him more motivated to hit homeruns. Silly Rockies fans. (See video from post below)

6. Coaching from in the stands is never, never, never appreciated. These players have coaches, managers, team owners, agents, wives, etc. all telling them what to do. Sit in the stands and hush. The powers to be at MLB will call you if they need your services

5. You could easily use the money spent on medical bills after diving for a "free" t-shirt to BUY said t-shirt at the gift shop

4. It is not OK to leave your seat 76 times during the game. If you're going to drink so much that you have to pee that much then just stay at the bar. Thank you.

3. The rows, seats and sections are all numbered. If you read your ticket, you will know where to sit. EASY AS PIE. (Except for the 678 people who could not quite figure that out today)

2. It is perfectly acceptable if you are the best player on your team to have Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" as your theme song when you go to bat (Thank you, Troy Tulowitzki, for not taking yourself too seriously. I loved it!)

1. 90 beers+ 90 degree heat= vomiting in the stands followed by a police escort downtown. (Thank you to the guy 6 spots down from us for teaching us this lesson today. Get well soon, buddy. And while you're in the drunk tank you may want to find new friends as the ones who came with you to the game now hate your guts for their ejection from the facility.)
