Last week, Colby and I had the opportunity to meet up with some friends in Oakland to watch some baseball. Its not every day your hometown team, the Houston Astros, are basically playing in your backyard!
Colby sent me on a wild goose chase to find a new Astros hat, which was actually to locate than I thought. Thank goodness for Lids! I on the other hand headed to Old Navy and found a navy and orange sweater shirt so I can wear it other than to Astros games!
We headed to the train station and took Bart into Oakland. It was a little windy waiting on the platform, but we decided it wouldn't be that cold at the game. YEAH RIGHT.
We got to the ballpark in what seemed like record time and met up with Andy and Tait. O.Co Coliseum is where both the Oakland A's and the Raiders Play, so I was a little apprehensive about the area, but it was fine. (Although Im pretty confident I'll never attend a Raiders game!) There was also a Spurs/ Golden Gate Warriors game next door, so there was lots of people out and about.
We settled into our seats and the game got started. We got to sit with some other Astros fans which was nice! The wind was BRUTAL. As the sun started setting, it got colder and colder. This was definitely the first baseball game i've been to where i've requested hot chocolate instead of beer!
We stayed as long as we could handle the cold and the awful awesome effort the Astros were putting up. It was so fun, and I'm looking forward to going to another game, possibly Giants, soon!
Cheers!
