Even though baseball has been in full swing since April, I tend to not pay attention to the games until after Memorial Day. Perhaps, for me, that is the official start to baseball season and summer. Last Saturday we went to our first Pirates game of the year. Yes folks, we are Pittsburgh Pirates fans because in Pittsburgh you stand by all of your teams, even those that haven't had a winning record for over 15 years!
Saturday's game was fun. Weather was perfect, stadium was a sellout, and after watching the Pirates beat the Houston Astros, we were treated to some spectacular fireworks and an hour concert from the Zac Brown Band. I had never heard of them before, but really enjoyed their music. They are a rock/country/bluegrass hybrid with most of their songs having a strong fiddle component. They did an outstanding cover of Devil Went Down to Georgia, actually singing it faster than Charlie Daniels does, which I never thought was possible. Apparently they are also up for a Country Music Award for their song "Chicken Fried" which is great (and mentions our troops, which means a lot to me)!
I'm glad it summer. We have lots of things to look forward to and more baseball games to attend!
