Auburn Baseball

Yes, we are those crazy Auburn fans! While, I was in the hospital giving birth to Mallory, the SEC baseball tournament was going on. So, of course, we had it on the t.v. in the background. The doctor would come in and watch it with us for a few minutes and the nurses kept commenting how much we got into sports. Oh, if they only knew. Well, Auburn had a great a season and the team was able to host a regional tournament here in town. The only problem was that it was being held a week and a half after Mallory was born. Well, we all wanted to go so we just took her with us! Yes, Tim overheard a lady say that was the youngest baby she had ever seen at an Auburn sporting event! :)

Don't worry, I didn't keep Mallory out there too long. We probably only stayed 3 or 4 innings. Although, Tim and I joke that she's the easy one because all she does is sleep at this age! The only trouble we had was a ticket nazi. We realize Luke is getting to the age that he needs a ticket. Sometimes ushers ask for a ticket and sometimes they don't. He hasn't had to have a ticket for baseball games all season. Well, this guy starts asking for a ticket for Luke. We were at the parking deck gate so I had Tim go around to the front gates and of course those ladies don't ask for a ticket for Luke. So, Tim comes back to the gate to meet us and the usher says, "she needs a ticket". OMG, you've got to be kidding me. A week and a half year old needs a ticket to go to a baseball game that she's going to sleep through. I'll be holding her, so she won't be taking up a seat. I'm thinking this is ridiculous and probably got a tad testy with the usher. So, he informs us, he'll get his supervisor to settle the manner. The supervisor comes up and asks who is the child that needs a ticket. The usher points to Mallory and the supervisor starts dying laughing and says, "no, that's ridicuolous. She doesn't need a ticket." Thank goodness, common sense prevailed.
