Episode 12: Baseball 101

On Tuesday I made the trek out to Cincinnati to attend Baseball 101: Luncheon for Ladies, so this week I thought I'd use the podcast to share some audio from that event.

Women? In the dugout?It was quite a haul out to Cincy; about two and a half hours, so to get there at 11 with room to recover from the wrong turns I invariably make, I had to be out the door at 8:30. It takes about an hour to get ready, so even though I took Tuesday off work, I absolutely did not get to sleep in satisfactorily.

I had my baseball CDs in the car and enjoyed the stylings of Oh Say Can You Sing? and Finding My Way. In case you didn't already realize the level of my geekitude.

Mulling about with the crowd outside the Diamond Club entrance before the doors opened at 11, it was impossible not to notice how out-of-place I was. First of all, most of the women seemed to be there in groups. Second of all, most of the women seemed to be retired. Experience tells me that the retirement-age women-in-groups crowd can be extremely passionate about their sports, but perhaps next year we can get a bit of a youth movement going to balance it out a little.

    Felipe’s an attractive man (and an all-star baseball player). [i]Of course[/i] he has a hot wife.

  2. Red Hot Mama says:

    I dunno, man. I’ve seen several players’ wives, and Jen is taking it up a notch.

    Dammit, I forgot to post the pictures with this post. I also hear that I said the date on the podcast as MARCH 13 instead of May. Clearly, it’s just one of those posts.

    Clearly, driving all the way from Indiana to Cinci got you so frazzled you forgot what month it is. I’m pretty sure you’re not blonde. So it must have been the agonizing stress of the traffic, the embarassing humiliation of the wrong turns, and the hopeless depair of not finding a free “Clutch Hits” CD in your gift bag.

    I think it’s just a weird shadow, but Felipe’s wife looks like she’s got some ripped arms. Freely also has a pretty cute wife.

  5. Red Hot Mama says:

    HMZ – I think a big part of it is that time is just going too damn fast. How can it be May already? But I should have known it wasn’t March: I mean, the season doesn’t even start until April. Duh.

    And no, not blonde. Quite brunette and proud of it.

    Geki – That picture does make her look sort of He-Manish, but I don’t think that was really the case. Still, she had some muscle tone to be proud of.

    I’m pretty sure he’s the guy in the Gapper suit. 😛 😛
