Nothing Better than Peanuts at the Ballpark
by Reed JacksonIn my opinion, there is no better way to spend a summer day than a trip to the ballpark. The smell of fresh-cut grass, the warmth of the sunshine beating down on the diamond, the taste of a ballpark hotdog (which, for whatever reason, always tastes better here than anywhere else), the "crack!" of the ball coming off the bat, followed by the silence of bated breath as everyone waits for it to clear the outfield fence "... Baseball is summer in its purest form.
That being said, one could not write a post about the beauty of the ballpark without talking about the Peanuts gang. Their baseball team may not be the best in the neighborhood, but it is definitely the funniest.
From the first pitch of the season"...
To the bottom of the ninth in the championship"...
The gang constantly reminds us what the game of baseball is all about. It's not about how many fans you have"...
Or whether you win or lose; it's about how you play the game.
Sometimes you're going to balk"...
But, you have to take it in stride.
"... And when all else fails, you can always cheer yourself up with one of those delicious ballpark hotdogs (or two, or 23).
