Take Me Out to the Ball Game

I love baseball.  I used to have season tickets to the Anaheim Angels of Anaheim so I was excited to go see the Tampa Bay Devil Rays take on the Texas Ranger at the Ballpark at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex.I saw a couple of games here when the Devil Rays Double A affiliate played here and I had a blast.   Here are a few thoughts:

  1.  So this is what Wide World of Sports looks like with people.
  2. They are selling Coke but there is a huge Pepsi billboard in Center Field because they are the official soft drink of Major League Baseball.
  3. It took me a good ten minutes before I saw any Disney Vacation Club signage.
  4. Ray, the Devil Rays mascot doesn't need a character host.  I see future labor cuts.
  5. Why havn't I head, "Where Dreams Come True" at the ball game.
  6. What?  No dream squad.  I wanted a Dream Fastpass to the concession line.
  7. This game isn't on ESPN?  Why?
  8. The preshow entertainment was done by an a capella group from the Disney-MGM Studios.  I figured we got them because its the only park that offers direct bus service.
  9. Ten bucks says that the guy that ran on to the field is a college program Cast Member.
  10. Quick take a picture.  The All-Star Cafe is open after 9 AND it has people in it!!!
