Raise the rails

Last night another man fell at sporting event this time in Houston, at the Texans preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. Why are the fans now at risk at a game? The league has put so many new rules in place to protect the players. Does he need to implement rules on the fans as well? This type of event is becoming far to common in the last few years. Are little children going to stop coming because there parents fear that they may get injured/killed? If that happens the process of the next generation falling in love with sports will be broken.

My first sporting event

My father tells me how I never remember anything, how we went to over the country; we saw the Grand Canyon, visited San Francisco, California, Seattle  and attended my first baseball game at Kingdome, Safeco Field home of the Mariners it was bat day. I had been playing T-ball and just started coach pitch. When I was given a wooden bat with the MLB logo engraved at the top and the Mariners’ logo close by. I asked my dad why the bat wasn’t metal like what I have always played with. He told me that only the pros use the wood bats. I accepted what he told me and we continued walking towards the ramp to head to our seats. So many people were bunched up trying to find what section they were in.

Once we found our location we walked in and the bright sun caught my eyes when I reached the tunnels end. The man asked for our tickets and directed us to our two seats. We sat down and from the upper deck we saw everything, the giant outfield that seemed way too large for anyone to hit the wall. The players looked like ants as they tossed a white dot back and forth. Once the game began the rain began to fall, as I was about to ask my dad if we should get under he tapped me and said watch this. A low grown and then the ceiling was moving! I stared as everyone took a quick glance at the roof closing I was in awe till the roof finally shut at the other end.
