Sea Dogs Baseball

Thanks to the Pope family at Cheverus H.S., the Chileans got to watch a Sea Dogs baseball game from the comfort of the Key Bank sky box ... or should I say "attend". I don't believe there was really much watching of the game going on. Intermittently there would be cheers, especially from the Mainers in the group, and most participated in the songs and Slugger antics of "YMCA" and "Take me out to the ballgame". When the lighthouse arose after homeruns - it was a thing of mystery at first, but once explained was a point of excitement.


The day started out rather sunny, but by the middle innings a huge fog cloud floated in from the sea and then rain. At the top of the 9th a downpour fell and the boys laughed to see the stadium spectators running .. because we were dry in the sky box. The Sea Dogs won in a rain soaked finish. The guys were watching Brittish soccer on the tele. Between hot dogs, pizza, chips and Sea Dogs Biscuits - it was a good day.
