Baseball Game Etiquette

As you all know, I have been going to a lot of baseball games lately. So, I thought i would put together a post of things I have observed. (for you, r.d.)

Baseball game etiquette which also includes fashion faux pas:

1.You are at a BASEBALL game – not hockey, not football, not golf or tennis. So, leave the hockey jersey in the closet and wear a BASEBALL cap or jersey if you’re going to wear one.

2.Wear a hat that supports one of the teams that are playing. If you are fan enough to be there then SHOW it! No one wants to see a – cough – hat of another team that’s not even playing. (and, I know – this is a big sacrifice for me since I have two Boston hats now – one of which is still not broken in)

3.Dress appropriately – shorts, t-shirts, jeans, etc. No yoga pants, shorty-shorts and jean skirts (especially, in a size 14 – if you need a mini-skirt in that size it’s probably not appropriate to wear)

4.Drink responsibly. Don’t spill your beer on the poor little boy’s head in front of you while you jump up and down in your tight, mini-skirt to cheer. (and, if you must jump up and down wear a bra with support so you won't flash the poor little boy as well)

5.If you purchase cotton candy don’t hold it up while eating it and block the view of the spectators behind you.

6.If your child isn’t potty trained yet then skip the baseball outing until they are old enough to be escorted to the bathroom and sit in their own chair. (instead of on your lap and kicking the person’s chair in front of you)

7.If you are worried that your child is going to spill blue slushie on the person in front of them’s head then DON’T BUY THEM ONE! Don’t just sit there and yell at the poor kid the whole time he/she is eating it while doing a balancing act. (Unless it’s on #4 girl's head)

8.Don’t stand in the aisle and talk to someone sitting down while the game is on.

9. High heels are not appropriate attire at a baseball game – especially, when trying to navigate up and down steps and falling into the lap of the person sitting on the aisle seat (despite it being wildly entertaining! ;-)

10. And, last but not least – try not to throw your peanut shells onto the person’s head in front of you.

Play Ball!
