First step - link the thread to my CB. Can't be that hard. Let me think...............Got it! If I didn't have my left arm in a brace I would have ridden my CB to the SCG for the BALL GAME. Surely, Mr Ferret, that qualifies this thread for Motorcycling General
What ball game? Well this weekend the Dodgers play the Diamondbacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground. It is the hottest ticket in town and I have one
. The SCG is hallowed turf to most Aussies and a lot of money has been put into making it, for this game, a "ball park" for us to be proud of. Infield dirt, around 200 tons, imported from the US, mud from the Delaware river (?) to polish the balls with, traditional food etc etc etc. I live a short walk, 10 mins or so across Centennial Parklands, from the SCG, so lack of my CB to get me there is not a great problem. This is the first baseball game I will have been to so, after a quick browse around the net for the "rules", am really looking forward to the game. Maybe I can have an American beer and a giant hotdog with "the works", plus the "crackerjack", whatever that is, as well.
There is one thing that intrigues me though. The Dodgers' catcher has been quoted as saying that he "wants all his pitchers to be wearing blindfolds when they are out there shagging". What does this mean? Doesn't he realise that this sort of thing is not routinely practised in public places in Australia. Can I risk taking my 9 year old god-son to the game????
Cheers
