Brewers Game

On Saturday Richard played in an annual softball game between the medical students at MCW and the dental students at Marquette. They played two fun games and then the competitive game, the one that really counts for the trophy. Richard played in one of the fun games and had a great time. After his game he stayed to watch the competitive game and cheer his fellow medical students on. MCW ended up winning the competitive game by a homerun hit by our great friend Jake Rabe in the last inning! It was a great moment for all the medical students. MCW actually ended up winning all the games that day-go future doctors!

Anyway, after all of these festivities the Brewers had a game that night so Marshall and I met Richard at Miller Park and spent the evening watching baseball. The Brewers were playing the Dodgers, Richard's favorite team. We were definitely in the minority cheering for the Dodgers and unfortunately they didn't pull out a win for us, but we still had a fun time.

Marshall was a trooper the whole evening and lasted until the end of the 6th inning. He stole the hearts of all the girls sitting behind us, what a cutie. :)

We can now check one more thing off of our Milwaukee-to-do-list. We've seen the Brewers in action!

The race of the sausages...
So they have this strange, but very amusing tradition at every home game. Halfway through the baseball game people dressed in sausage suits have a race. I have no idea who these people are; whether they are picked from the crowd or employees, but either way the crowd just loves it. A while before the race they announced that the sausages were in the locker room warming up and everyone started cheering. They got a huge reaction when they came onto the field and the race was thrilling for everybody-I just had to document it with a picture.
