Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Y'all! Baseball season is almost here! If there's one thing you NEED to know about me, it's that I really love baseball. Not just ANY baseball though. Atlanta Braves Baseball. Let's face it, I'm a born & raised Georgia girl and my dad brought me up the right way, watching every single Braves game! Sure, I'll watch football, but when the Braves are on, we're absolutely watching. No questions asked. It's the ONLY pull I have over the T.V. hahaha.

Clearly, I have a lot of baseball memories. If I had to pick my absolute favorite one though it would be from October 1995. For those that aren't familiar with Braves history, that's the last time they won the world series. I was 7 years old with a strict 8:00 P.M. Bedtime. However, for the World Series games, my dad let me stay up to watch! We belted out "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at the bottom of the 7th. Let's face it, who doesn't belt it out though?

Y'all... this was a huge deal for my little 7 year old self. Not only did I get to stay up PAST my bedtime, but I got to bond with my dad over baseball. I'll never forget cheering at the T.V. Or booing when Cleveland would score. My dad is absolutely thrilled that I still remember this. But, how could I not?!

A close second favorite memory would be taking Zander to his first baseball game. It was August 2011, he was 18 months. My boss at my old job had season tickets for the Gwinnett Braves. Every now and then he'd give out the tickets when him and his family didn't want to go. So not only did we have free (amazing) seats, parking was included! HECK YES!

I'll never forget how fascinated Zander was watching the game. At first he wasn't sure what to think, but he quickly got into it. A kid after my own heart!  It also helped that it was a minor league game, and the mascot interacts with the kids a LOT. He still watches baseball with me now.

What's your favorite baseball memory? Are you a diehard Braves fan like me? Link up with Kasey and Jessa to share!
