Lexington Legends

Last night Melissa and I went to see the Lexington Legends baseball team play.  The game was suppose to start at 6pm.  It was rain delayed for 2 hours.  Melissa and I showed up at 8pm and there were plenty of seats. We could just walk right in since the ticket takers had already left.  Free night at the game — woot!

when we first got there — I fell in love!   Check out that lens!  Woo boy.   Melissa cringed when she saw that lens.  She figures that one of those will be in the house soon   Even though it said Nikon on the plastic, I think that is a Canon hiding under there due to its distinctive white color. 

Actually, we went to the game to see Michael work at the game. 

Mike is part of the Mac Attack squad.  What they do is provide entertainment whenever there is a stop in the action — mostly when the teams switch up on the field.  It was a hard time keeping track of Micheal as he was all over the stadium.  When he wasn’t on the field, he was interacting with the fans.

Or he was waiting for a break in the action and talking with fellow staff members.  Mike sees me taking his photo and then tells his coworker who hams it up for the camera and then gets Mike to join in.

Of course there was baseball going on….   I tried pretty hard to get a bat-on-ball picture, but alas I didn’t.   I think I need a faster camera (and that lens from above) in order to get a better shot at getting a bat-on-ball picture.

During the game, some guy proposed to his girl friend.  I think she said yes.  I love the expressions on her face.  All smiles!

Mike with some kids on top of a dugout.  He seemed to enjoy his work most when he was dealing with the little kids.

Below our seats the Maker’s Mark girls were getting their picture taken.  I have no clue what this girl was thinking, but her expressions are priceless.

Some more pictures of Mike working.  The crowd wasn’t loud enough.

But the best part of the game was at the end when Mike came up and sat with us for a bit.
