To take a little one to a baseball game.
One of my pet peeves has always been people bringing their infant children to a baseball game while sitting in line drive territory. Keep your damn kid at home I would say but that was before I had one of my own. Now I'm the douche bag sitting next to you at T.G.I. Fridays and on an airplane with a baby.
The reason I ask is I have tickets to the game on Saturday (against the Cardinals). And not just any tickets but tickets located between the mound and home plate 6 rows up. We've had zero luck on a sitter and my wife hasn't been to a game yet this year so she really wants to go. Plus she has some strange crush on Molina so she enjoys going to see the Cardinals.
The boy is 8 months old. He is a very good baby who doesn't have a problem sitting still and actually enjoys being out in a crowd. With all the lights and sounds of a baseball game it'll probably be like one big giant Baby Einstein interactive video which will mesmerize his little mind. In the section in question you don't get really any screaming line drives and plus I watch the game like a hawk.
I'm thinking we take him and just understand it may be a short game for us. It is either that or once again give the old lady's ticket to one of my buddies and then have to deal with the guilt trip. Plus the boy needs to go to a game even if his team sucks.
