The Nerdiest Baseball Game Ever?



Last month, P and I attended the annual Congressional baseball game. It was a pretty neat experience. P and I enjoy going to baseball games anyway, so it was particularly fun to watch the Dem's and Republican's battle it out.

The fans were particularly nerdy, myself included. I've never seen so many people in full suits at a game! Most of the audience was also busy sending work mails on their blackberries -- that never happens at a regular Nat's game (except for maybe P and me :) ). Additionally there were signs like 'The Majority Rocks!' and 'Republican Revolution.' A particularly nerdy highlight was when Jeff Flake (R-AZ) was up to bat the audience taunted him by chanting in a sing-songy voice 'Earmarks, Earmarks, Eaaarrrmarks'.

If your wondering the R's won for the 8th straight year.
