Cary and Cary and Chris and I are at a Mudcats game right now(who knew a AA team would have wireless Internet?).
Tonight I realized something about baseball: the lower the league level, the less foul ball activity is required to get fans excited. At a major league game, it takes a bare-handed catch by a fan to get a cheer. A foul ball that bounces off the walkway and into someone’s hand is enough to warrant celebration at a AAA game. But the crowd at a AA game will burst into applause when a ball hits the roof of the upper deck and stops at the gutter. It an odd phenomenon, and one that warrants further study.
