Mistaken Identity

We always make fun of them...the girls that come to baseball games all dressed up with their high heels, skinny jeans, to small tops, hanging on their boyfriend's arms that have no clue about baseball. They come and ended up spending most of them getting up and down from their seats or constantly asking their boyfriends what is going on.
Well on Saturday when I went to the Mariner game, it happened to me! It was so funny and still makes me laugh.
It was hot on Saturday and I didn't know if our seats were going to be in the sun or not, so I decided to wear a dress instead of shorts and a t-shirt, more airflow, you know. We were up walking around towards the end of the game and found a great spot behind the Yankees dugout to stand. We were having a discussion about Cano and I said he took forever to get into his stance, when the man standing next to us, butted in because he thought I said that baseball players didn't work hard. I corrected him and was backed up by Riles telling him, I knew about baseball. We all kind of laughed and went back to watching the game.
I had taken some shots of the players in the dugout, when the guy standing next to me started talking to me again. He told me that if I wanted a really great shot, I needed to count two seconds after the pitcher let go of the ball and take a shot of the batter because then I could get all the emotions on his face. I looked down at the batter and noticed it was a right handed batter, so that wasn't going to happen and I told him so. He told me I needed to run around to the other side and then I could get the shot. I just laughed and thought, "I'll show him."
On the next pitch I took two shots of the pitcher and showed him.


He was blown away and then told me I could sell my pictures for money.
Thank you very much! Not all girls that go to games, dressed up, are dumb and ill informed about baseball.
