sides
Crazy weekend ahead of us – we’ve got 7 kids in the house until Sunday night – so Ray took me out to the ballgame.
Coors Field, Rockies against the Dodgers.
Ray has this theory that baseball is like a worship service. You have a call to worship (National Anthem, umpire yelling “Play Ball”), an offertory song (”Take Me Out To The Ballgame”), and a benediction (final out of 9th inning).
There are other similarities. The only common thing about all ballparks – the infield. In all other things there are differences – and differences that are celebrated, not condemned. Some fields have large foul ball areas, others have a right field home run porch, others have their bullpens on the side of the field. The differences are what makes each “sanctuary” holy and unique.
Be cool if we could see churches that way, huh?

Dude – you’re wearing a Bronco’s jersey to a Rockies game? We all know you’re a Broncos fan. Can’t fault you there. BUT you’re at a a Rockies game. Sorry, maybe I’m just a purist.
Hope you guys had fun.

Grant has two kinds of shirts:
1. Broncos shirts
2. Hard Rock shirts
P.S. Not all infields are the same…Detroit (Comercia Park) has that funky path from the mound to homeplate — someone else has one of those too. Ok, so I’m nit picking.
