Had a week just go bye in which we sat in the heat, with no let up of the sun, at Bristol Tenn for the Nationwide race. It was so damn hot I could not wait for the race to end.
Yesterday, had the opportunity to see the Atlanta Braves play in the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Disney. Great seats and again, sun and no relief from the heat.
During the Braves game, we struck up a conversation with some folks from Maine and told them we were Tampa Ray fans and how much we enjoyed goingto their games. It dawned on us that Tampa plays in an airconditioned dome. Never thought that I would be one to complain about the heat, howver, enjoyment of a sporting event thatis played outdoors, should be inside of a closed structure. I hate\ to say this, as I am an old "purist" of the game. However, the older I get, comfort creatures are in the forefront and I hope that my fellow sporting companions are of the same opinion. It is just too damned hot to sit for 3 hours plus to watch a bunch of overpriced boys play a game.
