A Fatrolf weekend with the Athletics: Chicago style!

Fatrolf hangs out with the A's on the South Side

[insert ketchup joke here]

I have been lucky enough to live in three different cities with AL teams, two of which with dirt-cheap tickets (the only good thing about spending four years in Detroit). So, once again, like the adult I am, I packed my bag full of snacks and headed to the South Side to catch some rays ... I mean, A’s.

Friday

In the week leading up to the first game of the series, in typical Chicago fashion, we were told that the weather report for the day would consist of being stuck in a perpetual torrential downpour, consumed in a tsunami, riddled with thunderstorms, sucked into Narnia and also the game would probably be postponed for a few hours, or maybe canceled.
