Vancouver Canadians (baseball)

When I was a child, I used to play baseball. But I really didn’t pay much attention to it simply because I was first drawn to basketball (my Dad’s sport and afterwards, my brother’s main sport) and then to volleyball (the sport I played at highly competitive levels) and tennis (which I still play). So when JT asked me if I’d like to see a Vancouver Canadians game, I totally said yes.

Seeing a baseball game live is one of those things that you need to do at the very least once in your lifetime. While I really didn’t understand very well how the game went (I had to remember what an inning was, when it was top of the inning and bottom of the inning, what a foul ball was, when it was a strike or a ball, etc.) Absolutely delightful.

The game JT and I witnessed was the 2-0 Vancouver Canadians win over the Tri-City Dust Devils. It was beautiful seeing how people sang the Chubby Chicken song, how everyone was so enthralled with the game. And of course, it was a lot of fun to see JT how excited he was with the game. Of course, he had to basically explain the game piece by piece, which was in and of itself fun.

And of course I had to take a photo with the mascot

Seeing a Vancouver Canadians game is a spectacle in and of itself, to be quite honest. It’s the whole deal: the cotton candy, the burger combos, the hotdogs, the 50/50 draw, the waves and the music. It’s one of those really fun, family or friends’ oriented, very clean, very “wholesome” activities that you can do either with a friend or a group of friends, with your children, or your parents if you are (like me) close to them.

Disclosure: JT paid for both of our tickets. I am neither obligated nor expected to write about the game, but it’s something that I love doing: promoting local sports teams. As always I retain full control over anything that is published on my site.
