Opening night for the Durham Bulls tonight! We had great seats, front row in left field, thanks to D. and S. who have some kind of season ticket thing.
It was a good game: the Bulls won 2-1. Some new between-inning games too. The best game was a perennial favorite, where a small child races Wool E. Bull around the bases. They had found a little boy who was so young, he did not get the concept at all. He kept stopping when he got to each base, and at second base he started to wander off into the outfield. The umpire had to turn him around and steer him towards third. It was so cute! Usually when the kid is that small, a staffer goes around with them to make sure they go the right way. Wool E. Bull is a pro at losing these races. Somehow he always manages to time it just right, to make himself far enough behind that he can genuinely run the last base and still let the kid win.
Best part of the night: $1 hot dogs!
