Take me out to the ballgame...




"For its root, root, root for the BREWERS!
If they don't win its a shame!"





We are happy to say...there was no shame, BREWERS won in the most awesome way.

I'm going to do my best to give you the "play by play" but I'm not a sports writer, and I can't give this game the justice it deserves. Ben says out of the hundreds of games he has been to this was pretty much the best.



We arrived when the San Fransisco Giants were winning by four. The Brewers eventually caught up, but by the ninth inning they were down again by two runs. The Brewers fans are hardcore and very hopeful but it seemed almost a certain loss for the Brewers...



Prince Fielder is our favorite player on the team. He hit a 3-run homer in the sixth AND hit the winning run. We were amazed that in the last inning the Brewers made a comeback and won 7-6!

After Fielder reached second base, he then took a few steps toward the mound, stopped and raised his arms in celebration. He was immediately tackled by his teammates! What a game! The crowd went WILD with excitement. We were high-fiving just about everyone!







Miller Park is one of the newest baseball parks. It has a retractable roof and it really is so PRETTY! There is something about being at a baseball game that makes me feel American and good all over. :)



This is the Brewers Sausage Race. It is a race of sausage mascots held at the bottom of the sixth inning at every home game. It is hilarious to see the sausages run.
