Well, here is what I did this Sunday.

Well, heeerrrrsss Wool E. Bull, that could mean only one, thing. Yes, I went a Durham Bulls game. Well, just in case you probably don't know, the Durham Bulls are a Triple-A Minor League team. It seems the Major League team get most of the attention. But those folks in the Minor League are just as good. And the Minor League teams do have Major League affiliates. The Bulls MLB affiliates are the Tampa Bay Rays. I went with Carson, my fiancee, my brother Bayard (pronounced BI-yard, just in case you are wondering), and Rachell, Bayard's wife (and yes, her name is spelled with two "L's").  They played the Norfolk Tides.  We got to sit buy the home plate area, giving us a good view of the action. However, there was a safety net in the way. 

Here's Wooly himself. 

There are the two ladies who sang the national anthem. That's The Star Bangled Banner for those of you who live outside the United States. 

Now, it's game time. 

Okay, after the Tides batted first they got two runs on the Bulls. Now, it's time for the Bulls to bat!

And boy did they ever! They got a home run with two guys on base. They also got a run in early in the inning. Bulls now take the lead 4-2. Though I didn't get a picture of this, the Bulls also got a TRIPLE PLAY! No, not a double play, but a triple play. Three outs. Isn't that rad! Whoa! Am I lost in the 80's? Nobody says rad anymore. 

That's the Durham Bulls Snorting Bull sign. If any of the Bulls hits a home run, the eyes glow and it snorts smoke. Hard to see that in the daytime though. Also when people hit a home run, you hear the sound of a train. I guess, that's because there are a lot of trains in Durham. 

Here's Wool E. Bull having a race with a kid. And as usual, he loses! 

Here is Wooly meeting up with the kid. Congratulating him I guess. 
And another home run. GO BULLS!!! They are really doing well!! I guess you think they can't lose.
Sorry, ran out of room in this post. More pics on the next post.
