Friday night the Yogi’s went to see the Tulsa Drillers play at ONEOK Field.
What we didn’t count on was hot hot it was. My car thermometer said 109F when parked at the stadium. I don’t think the official temperature was that high, but it was hot. There was no breeze either. This is Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping through the plains darn it.
Even the umps were hot.
The opposing pitcher spotted me eating ice cream. I thought he was going to come up in the stands and take it. He’d of had a fight on his hands.
We smiled in the heat, and perspired. Sweetie perspired, SuperPizzaBoy and I sweated.
Keep him fueled on pizza and ice cream and SPB is ready to go.
Seventh inning stretch so we sang “Take me out to the Ball Game” and of course “Oklahoma.” If you live here you better learn that song. As far as I’m concerned, its the best State Song in the whole country.
And then we had a Fireworks Show!! The Drillers often do that on Friday nights.
Have you been to a baseball game lately?
Oklahoma is a great song to sing anywhere, isn’t it?
We know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand…O-k-L-A-H-O-M-A
Oklahoma OK
Or something like that. 🙂
I’m being sarcastic here, please don’t take it the wrong way.
Isn’t Oklahoma the land of homophobes? Yet their proud of a state song from a Broadway musical?
In Utah… a Sox fan? WE are all over! My claim to ‘baseball fame’? My brother, Dad and I were in the stands behind the California Angels dugout when Jack Hamilton hit Tony C. in the face. I’ll never forget that sound.A star that was never the same. btw, any you root for what team in 2011?
SPB and I like the same thing about the game – the junk food!
It looks really hot! We’re going to see the Sky Sox next Saturday. Jillian and Brian are off to see the Rockies today.
Another super fun outing with the family! That’s what it is all about, isn’t it!
We went to single A ball, last week, the Lake Elsinore Storm. Great fun. And we saw Oklahoma, at our local playhouse!
Never been to a baseball game ever, although I have watched enough American films to see that baseball is a big as football (soccer) although have to add I am not into going to watch that either 🙂 I think you were brave venturing out in that heat….
Do you know I have NEVER been to a single baseball game? (My brother’s little league games not included.)
Will you and Sweetie adopt me? Please!?
I love baseball games, especially Driller baseball games,but we are waiting for the heat to break. Apparently it has a way to go. We may hve to wait for next spring.
And I forgot to ask you how to take such good fireworks pictures. I always manage to snap the last of the sparkles after the bomb explodes.
We went to see the NWA Naturals play the Springfield Cardinals a month ago. It was hot that night too. I’d love to go again, but I would like for it to be a bit cooler too.
Minor league baseball is great fun.
In spite of the heat, it does look as though all of you had a wonderful time! Your photos do make me smile! A lovely way to end my very busy day! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

I’ve stayed away from the baseball games this year because of the awful heat wave. You guys are brave!
We are glistening!
You even sang in that heat? Wow. You are some sports, for sure.
