Frisco RoughRiders, 28 July 2007
So my “last hurrah” before foot surgery was an outing to the ballpark in Frisco, home of the AA RoughRiders. It’s a nice park, and there’s not really a bad seat in the house.
Fortunately for us, we had really great seats, thanks to a church member who passed on six Founders’ tickets to Nathan, who kindly invited my wife and I to attend. Also along for the outing was Nathan’s wife Kim, perennial pal Brent, and Brent’s baseball-loving daughter, Kelsey.
We had a great time taking advantage of the all-you-can eat and drink benefit that came with Founders’ tickets, so much so that we missed the first inning, and the only scoring the game would see! The game may have been “boring” from the lack-of-scoring perspective, but I had a great time being out at a baseball game with my wife and great friends, and took some photos to boot.

The game wasn't boring, even from a scoring perspective. Granted there weren't many runs and not many hits, but pitching and defense make scoring (or lack thereof) that much more exciting as the game comes to crunch time. It's building and building...
...but I gotta say that when we missed the run in the first inning while munching on too much free food that I thought we'd still see plenty of runs.

I personally didn't think it was boring, but for those who like the runs, it may have appeared so. Like you, I thought the fact that we'd missed a run in the first inning was only indicative of the scoring to come.
