Baseball in California

As most of you know baseball is my favorite activity during the spring and summer. Back home in VA I used to go to games at the minor league stadium in my hometown all the time. That is one of the things I miss the most about home. But there are teams out here too.

A week ago I went to my first minor league game in California. One of my new friends out here had gotten some free tickets to a game and asked if I wanted to go. Of course the answer was yes. We went and had a girl's night at the ballpark. It was a lot of fun and brought back a lot of good memories from games back home. The team we went and saw play was the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, a Class A minor league team of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

I also went to my first major league game this past Sunday. It was so much fun! And I can't wait to go to another one. Me and a couple friends went to see the Angels play the Oakland A's. We actually cheered for the A's and felt a little out of place doing so at Angel Stadium. But I figured what better way to spend my first major league game then by cheering for one of my first minor league friends? Oakland ended up losing 9-1 but it was still a lot of fun...and very hot.
