Minor League Baseball

So mom and me went to a Minor League Baseball game, and while they played baseball, they didn't really play baseball. They had all the same rules, I guess, and they all went up to bat, but they just didn't seem to try too hard. They jogged to the bases, sashayed over to a fly ball, and meandered back to their respective dugouts when the inning was over. The best part was the non-baseball activities. The giveaways, the flying t-shirts and frisbees, the companies that came to give away water bottles and bags and the mediocre food. Last night was a special pet-connection event, so we got a bobblehead of a local weatherman who does lots of things with pets. So they gave away cat food and recycled bags, spray suntan lotion and so much more that I can't remember. So all in all, I think Minor League Baseball is less about the stats and more about the fans. And really can that be all bad??
