Take me out to the ball game....

We went to the SaltDogs baseball game this past week. It was so fun. It was $1 Hot dog/Bring your pup to the park night. Weather was looking pretty sketchy but luckily it held out until the last 10 minutes of the game.



The Hot Dogs are Dyed red...So weird but SO yummy!


During some of the breaks they had "weiner dog races"

From the Stadium you could see almost all of down town, it was such an awesome view.

Right in the middle of the game a train came by with 3 giant Boeing bodies...I thought it was really cool. I took a picture and sent it to my Dad (they are green because they are mid production, not painted yet)


Before the last couple of inning the people in front of us left. Erick and Tom moved up so they could be closer to heckle the players.





Homer The Salt Dog

and good ol' Walter. Walter was the DH of the Sioux City team. Walter is 6'5" 340lbs. He was a BIG OL' BOY! Erick and Tom made it a point to heckle poor Walter all night, everytime he came up to bat they yelled WAAAALLLLLTTTTERRRR.. I was afriad he was going to come out of the dug out and beat down the boys after the game.






The highlight of the night, our section was pretty much cleared out and the guy with the Jumbotron camera came around. Erick and Tom lured him in with such sweet faces but the minute it showed up on the jumbtron up comes Tom shirt and he did was Erick refers to as the "truffle shuffle" (see the clip from The Goonies, below)

I can't believe he did the "Truffle Shuffle"! Thanks for the clip! That topic pops up about once a month in our family, I have no idea why.
