All-Stars Game

Yesterday I went to Minute Maid Park with Jess to watch the All-Stars Futures game. We got to see the up and coming players in the in minors looking to move into the majors. Some of these guys were as young as 18! What an awesome experience for them to play at Minute Maid!

Neither of us knew it before the game, but after the Futures game, the Legends and Celebrity game was played! I was four rows away from the field watching Nick Lachey, Charlie Maher (The Bachelorette), Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Rancic (winner of The Apprentice), and Sarah Silverman. It was a great surprise to find out that I would be watching these people play softball and having a good time! A once and a lifetime experience...How often is the All-Stars game played in Houston?

It would have been a perfect day at the ballpark except for two men sitting behind us yelling at the celebrities about how they were swinging like a girl. Come on guys, they are out there to have a good time and provide entertainment...They are entertainers for a living. Who cares if they can play softball or not? If you wanted to see a softball or baseball game, go home and watch television. There were plenty of baseball games on. Don't yell stupid things like "Kimmel and Bits" at Jimmy Kimmel because he doesn't care. He's there to entertain with comedy, not with his baseball or softball skills. Don't yell curse words so that everyone around you can hear...Parents being their young children to the baseball park to have a nice family outing. Don't spoil it because your vocabulary is too small to come up with other ways to express your frustration. (Even though you should have none at a celebrity softball game.) Bottom line - don't make yourself look stupider than you already are.
