Take me out to the ballgame...

We spent this evening at a Lowell Spinners baseball game. They are a Single A Red Sox team and we had great seats (front row, near the 3rd baseman). We were with a group with which I volunteer with so we get the good ones;/

It was a close game, the Spinners won it in the bottom of the 9th! Also, the man sitting next to me also caught a foul ball. Actually it is lucky he did or I might have had some issues since I didn't have a glove myself!) He was very sweet and gave the ball to Jack since his kids had already been given a ball from the 3rd baseman. Jack was so excited!

Baseball is only part of the attraction, they do silly stunts/acts between innings to keep the kids entertained - Irish dancers, dogs catching Frisbees, people dressed as a toothbrush/tooth fairy. We didn't stay, but after the game you can play catch on the field and they show a movie.

All in all it is a great way to spend the evening and cheap too! A hot dog was $1.75 and even the best tickets are only $8. We can even get there in only about 30 minutes. I am sure we will be back at some point.
