Happy New Year!
Today I picked up my season tickets. As I was walking into the ballpark, I passed the couple who sit right behind me. I looked up, thought "I recognize these people from somewhere," when it dawned on me. We shared a quick "Hi, how's it going?" moment and then kept on walking.
It was kind of weird - I don't know these people, don't know their names even, but for about 40 days a year we converse and visit, compare score sheets, and discuss pitches or calls at the plate. I have never seen them anywhere else and if I did it would be weird, but within the confines of the ballpark we are friends, neighbours.
