3 Reasons To Watch Bama Baseball This Season!


Color me impressed!  Recently, I found a new Bama sport to obsess over.  I know... Shocking.  However, The University of Alabama Baseball program has it going on this year!!! After attending several games at "The Joe" this season, I've been blown away by the fan friendly experience.  And you don't have to be an avid baseball fan to enjoy a day at the ballpark in Tuscaloosa these days!  Here's 3 reasons why every Bama fan should come experience some Bama Baseball this season:

 THE NEW FREE SEATING
Backed up against the new Sarah Patterson Champions Plaza is a new terraced picnic area.  Fans can now watch our boys from right field free of charge! And that isn't the best part.  Prefer having an adult beverage... Or 3 while watching your baseball?  You're in luck.  It's totally okay here.  So whether you like to grab a few friends & ice down a cooler of beer on Friday night or maybe enjoy a few mimosas on a gorgeous Alabama Saturday afternoon, you're welcome here.  Fans have set up some pretty spectacular tailgates already this season & judging from the screams & the music I've heard, it's a pretty awesome experience!  Here are the guidelines for the new 'tailgating section':


 SUNDAY FUN DAY
I've spent the last 2 Sundays witnessing this & I gotta admit, it's a pretty heartwarming affair.  After every Sunday home game, parents & children are invited to the field where the kids line up & run the bases.  As if this isn't enough to make any American kid have sweet dreams, the entire team takes a knee in right field where everyone is welcome to meet the players & get autographs.  This alone has been making a lot of dads rockstars & given a lot of moms pretty spectacular photo ops.  

HUNGRY? THEY BRING YOU FOOD RIGHT TO YOUR SEAT
I'm totally serious.  If you want to indulge in the concession stand treats, there's a website you can go to place an order and they bring it to you! No more long lines. No more missed plays.  I have to admit, I'm a little more amazed with this concept than I should be.  But what defines America more than baseball?  A bunch of fans too dang lazy to walk their chubby back sides to the concession stands, that's who!  'Merica! 


I have a lot to learn about the game of baseball.  But I guarantee you that you don't have to be a fan of the game to have a wonderful time at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.  And as an added bonus, the team is showing a lot of promise coming off back to back series wins to start the season!  Tickets are always available at the gate & chairback seating is $10, general admission $8, and youth seating as low as $4.  Of course, don't forget about the free tailgating section!

I sure hope to see you at The Joe this season!!! Thanks for stopping by, y'all!!!

The Recruitment of Elisha Shaw

Image
A nother signing day has come & gone.  And in what has become the norm, Alabama has the #1 recruiting class, signing phenoms like Bo Scarbrough & Rashaan Evans.  Rival fanbases have already begun the annual discussions of which players on Saban's roster will be "processed" to make room for all the incoming 5 stars.  Ya know... Because the leader of the evil empire doesn't care about players.  He only cares about winning. While ESPN is ooing & awing over what might possibly be the best signing class ever, the best story of National Signing Day has gone virtually unmentioned.  The story of Elisha Shaw.  Outside of my fellow recruiting junkies, I doubt anyone's even heard his name.  At one time, Shaw was one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the nation.  With 17 scholarship offers on the table, programs like Georgia, auburn, & Florida State were all fighting for him.  But Shaw's situation changed drastically when he su...

Bama Baseball Heads to Tallahasee: They Scrong!

Image
Bama Baseball is headed to Tallahassee for the NCAA Regionals as a 2 seed in the 4-team, double-elimination event.  Bama Bats will face off against Kennesaw State on Friday while The Famous Jameis FSU Seminoles take on Georgia Southern.  Bama's dominant start in SEC play helped them climb all the way up in the rankings to #8, but a brutal back half of the schedule left them beat up, beat down, & beat out.  After a one & done performance at the SEC Championship Series last week, the Tide goes into the series with a .278 batting average which is among the upper half of the SEC.  And with 10 SEC teams making it in, that speaks volumes. *auburn & tennessee did not. LOLOLOLOLOLOL* Now the big question is who's on the mound Friday?  Care to take a guess..... I think Bama will surprise people this weekend.  I'm scrong! Like, they scrong! Are you scrong? WE SCRONG!!! ROLL TIDE! ROLL BAMA BATS!

I HATE AUBURN!!!

Image
     I really do.  So in honor of being stuck watching them play in the SEC Championship Game today, I thought I'd make myself feel better by listing some of the many reasons why I HATE AUBURN !       I hate Patrick Fain Dye. I hate his drunken diatribes. I hate his interviews. Why should I care what a drunk, cheating, lying tree farmer who loses his own pants has to say? I hate that he can't even say the word family.  What does fambly even mean?  I hate that he's like the Jim Jones to the auburn cult!      I hate Tommy Tuberville.  I hate his ears. I hate wingnuts because they remind me of him.  I hate his smug grin.  I hate that he allowed his '04 team to receive championship rings FOR WINNING NOTHING! I hate his thumbs & that stupid saying, 'Fear The Thumb'. What kind of man holds up fingers to taunt heartbroken college kids?  A classless one named Tommy.  That's who....
