A “Gay” Old Time at the Ball Park!

The day after I returned home from the beach I was woken up with a wonderful surprise, my mom was offered 4 club seat tickets to the Nationals vs. Angels baseball game which was scheduled to be played that night. Being such a huge fan I could not pass up the wonderful opportunity to watch my Nats play a little ball.  I went to the game with my brother-in-law Ben, my little brother Joseph and Joseph's friend Cole.

At the start of the game, I noticed that there was something unusual about the choir that was walking out to perform the National Anthem - they where all men. So I decided to be funny and I turned to Ben and told him that it was the 

National Gay Men's choir. Well I was shocked when I found out that I was right, in fact it was “Gay night” at the Ballpark.  Please understand I don’t discriminate and I don’t want to offend anyone, but the last person I wanted to sit next to during a situation like this is my brother in-law. I defiantly think we gave the wrong impression to some of the spectators because we received plenty of unwanted winks.

Aside from that the game was very enjoyable. It was fun being there to see Ben at his first MLB baseball game and I enjoyed watching him eat his first ballpark frank. It was a fun night.
