After breakfast, we head to Millar Park for a Brewers/Pirates game. We don’t care about either team, but it’s always fun to catch a game in a new ball field. First thing we notice is how many people tailgate once they get to the parking lot. This isn’t people who come early to tailgate. This is people who arrive 30 minutes before the game, park, quickly grab games, tables, chairs, food, and drinks out of their car, just so they can tailgate for 10-15 minutes. We also saw a game that looked sort of like cornhole, but played with darts!
The Brewers have a ton of things for fans to do once you’re inside. Doug wanted to do the big slide in the outfield (which Bernie, the Brewers mascot goes down when they score a home run), but it was the wrong direction. It’s also bobblehead day at the game. Doug took the Prince Fielder (who?) bobblehead (it’s free stuff!), but Travis wisely rejected his, much to the consternation of the woman handing them out.
Oddest part of the game was the guy in front of Travis who was “sexting” with someone while sitting next to his dad and two sons (we’re assuming it was his mistress based on content). It wouldn’t have been so obvious if he wasn’t using a crazy big font.
Weirdly, the Brewers don’t play Deep in the Heart of Texas during the seventh inning stretch. 😄. Instead we got “Roll Out the Barrel“ after “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”.
My bobble head - before one of the folks sitting near me STOLE IT!
The players in Milwaukee are a lot smaller than at home!
Doug has a text queued up and ready to send in case Travis gets rowdy.
They have sausage races at the game. Chorizo won tonight (he’s the one with the sombrero).
Just part of “Father of the Years” texts.
