Got to take some of my team to the games yesterday.. It was AWESOM!! what a beautiful stadium.. We all had a great time.
- one thing I gotta mention that just blew me away though!! The game balls. They have like sniper spotters and agents making sure every ball is returned.. OSU hit 4 homers!! After one the ball was just sitting in the middel of the parking lot outside of left field. It just sat there for a few mintues, so two of our girls ran out there to get a home run ball, Thinking either they could personllay give it to the player, or keep it. It just sat there.. Anyway they get it and come back into the stadium and they make her go put it in the ball return!! Big ol blacktop scuff mark and all..
I understand all the fould balls and all, but it was truly unbeleivable to see how the staff there reacted to these softballs.. everytime a ball left the field it was like an goverment operation getting it back.. I know cost of softballs are portion of budgets, and efforts can be made to cut down on these costs, but to me it seemed way over the top.
It could just be me, and by no means am I complaining, because free softball at a place like that at that level, is worth giving whatever balls they want, back to em.
- I told my player though, she should have handed it to the guy and said" here, you go stick it in the ball return I just ran 150 yards to go get it"
