A First...

Describe a first

When I read this writing prompt I knew instantly I wanted to write about the first time I entered a professional baseball game.  I was a senior in High School and I had fled with my boyfriend from Grand Rapids to travel to Chicago to watch a couple of games.  

From the outside Wrigley Field isn’t much.  You walk down the street and there it is, right in the middle of the neighborhood.  From the inside you instantly smell popcorn and see an explosion of vendors offering almost anything you can dream of to eat, drink, and wear.  

Climbing the ramp I remember the suspense as we entered each level until we got to the top of the stadium and stepped out.  The green was stunning.  It looked florescent against the blue sky.  It took my breath away.  After sitting in my seat, I had to pause and take it all in.

I have been to other baseball games since, but nothing affected like the first time I saw that field.
