Stitch N Pitch (aka Knitters Are Funny)

By Michelle on June 25, 2008 | Permalink | Comments (4) | Downtown , Sports

Attending Riverbats games last year taught me a very valuable lesson: I enjoy minor league baseball for 5 1/2 innings. After that I'm bored to tears and ready to go home. I'm ok with the 5.5 inning scenario. I feel like I've gotten my money's worth and I leave when I get bored. It's a good deal.The ladies from the Knit Nook aren't quite as fond of baseball but they're going to do their best to enjoy a game next Wednesday night during the first ever Stitch N Pitch.

There is a long tradition of knitting occupying our time during boring things. You bring your knitting to the waiting room, the carpool line, and now the baseball game!

On Wednesday, July 2 at 7 pm, we'll be hosting our first ever Stitch N Pitch at Slugger Field.

Bring your knitting or crochet and we'll stitch while watching the Riverbats. It's Ladie's Night, so tickets are $3.50 at the door. Ask for a ticket in section 124 with the Stitch N Pitch group. The first ten people to show up will get a Knit Nook tote bag. Also, if you bring your ticket stub in anytime during the following week, you will receive 10% off your purchase. (This discount is only valid through Wednesday, July 9 and on one purchase only.)

Funny. I am with you on the 5.5 innings. What we used to do is buy the super cheep seats, wait until the 5th inning and then go try to score better seats behind the batters box or 1st base. That is an adventure and usually not successful until the middle of the 7th with the ticket checkers at the aisles.

That does sound like it would add some adventure and excitement to a baseball game. I haven't made it to a game this year yet but I need to do it soon. Maybe this one...

Beat 'em to the punch. My dad occasionally gets Bats tickets through his office, and we went this past Monday, and of course I brought along the sock I'm knitting.
