BEDA - Day Ten

While I have decided that since I was girly yesterday and talked about my hair that today I would flip things and write about sports. Yes, you read that right, I said sports. I can totally see my brother fainting right now. I am starting to take an interest in the Blue Jays, I am actually watching a game right now and the Jays are winning 3-1 at the bottom of the 6^th. I’m not really sure why this interest has started now, but I’m enjoying it.

I have never been a very athletic person. When I was a kid I took part in Tee-ball and then baseball, but I wasn’t very good at it. When I got a little bit older I started to curl. I will admit that I did love to curl, it is a game that is really complicated at first, but once you get it, it is brilliant. I was pretty good a figuring out the strategy that went along with curling and I was even a skip for two years, but in the end the girls in my small town that were interested in curling didn’t really get along with me and I decided that curling wasn’t worth the trouble. I don’t really watch curling, I never really have a desire to turn it on, but when I do watch it I enjoy it.

The only sport that I’ve ever actually been interested in is baseball, which people will think is strange because I never watch it or talk about it. I think that it has more to do with the fact that I have a soft spot for baseball; my favourite movie is A League of their Own. I have been trying to think of a way to explain how I feel about baseball, but I can’t, I just like it.

I can still remember the first ever Blue Jays game that I went too, I can’t remember how old I was but I was pretty young, and Roger Clemens was pitching. He was trying for a no-hitter, I actually can’t remember if he did it or not you’d have to ask my brother, but it was so much fun. My parents bought me a foam finger and I was having a blast waving it around in the air, so much that some guy behind us found it annoying and kept yelling for me to stop, my family still laughs about that. The next time I went to a Jays game was for my 24^th birthday, I share my birthday with my friend Travis and he really wanted to go the game for his birthday so I decided to join in the festivities. It was really fun and I had wished that I had attended more games that season. Last season I only got to two games, but each time I had a blast. I think that live sports are sort of like live music for me. You can’t help but to have fun when there is so much excited energy around you. I hope to go to more games this season.

I guess that it has come to the point in my life where I have decided that I should get into a sport and have a team to cheer for, and baseball and the Blue Jays are going to be just that. My favourite player, Escobar, just made a great catch and I cheered! The score in now 6-1 for the Jays going into the bottom of the 7^th inning, and I’m pumped! I think that is a good note to end this blog post on! GO JAYS!

EDIT: The Blues Jay won 7-3!
