How RVing Full Time Turned Me Into a Baseball Fan!

full time rv family sees the arch

We saw the St. Louis Arch in St. Louis but the best was yet to come...

I really like traveling in an RV full time.

However, one of the things my brother and my Dad really like is baseball. We have gone to lots of baseball games while RVing full time.

I just don’t like baseball that much.

That all changed in St. Louis though…

The Cardinals Game

When we went full time RVng in St. Louis, we went to the Cardinals game I thought it was going to be a regular baseball game for me, but it was not! I usually don’t like baseball games but that day I had fun. Now I will tell you about the Cardinals game.

My Fourth Rally Monkey!

When I went to the Cardinals game I got my forth rally monkey (did I mention that I have a collection of them)! He is a red Cardinals rally monkey who has a bandanna that says “StL” that made it look like he had red and blue rock star hair.

The Game

When we went to our seats, it was really hot, but we found that we were:

1. In the shade
2. High up

Then the game started! The Diamond Backs were up first, but they did not score any runs.

Next up were the CARDINALS!!!!!!! They  scored a run.

The D-backs then scored a few runs and so did the Cardinals until the eighth inning, it was 6 to 5 D-backs. I was cheering like I never cheered before!

Here I am cheering and dancing:

Then Albert Pujols hit a homerun!

Then the eighth turned into the ninth, and I was desperate.

Then someone hit a double and that ended the game! And the Cardinals won!!!!

Here I am celebrating:

Now because of RVing full time, I am now a baseball fan! And I really like the Cardinals.

What sports do you like now that maybe you didn’ t before? Post a comment below and tell me what happened to you? Is there a game you remember when you were a kid like this one for me?

Thanks!

    Eli once again you amaze me with your ability to write so well!

    When I was a just a boy, my Dad dragged me to a Red Sox game and I didnt really like baseball all that much; the stadium was smelly and the city was dirty.

    However, when I walked up the steps to finally see the fields of Fenway Park, I saw the lush green of the field, the red clay of the infield and that huge left field wall they call the green monster.

    From that point forward I was hooked! I have been a baseball fan ever since. I think the Red Sox lost but I still loved it! Thank you for sharing your experience!

    Eli, I first became a baseball fan when I was your age, too. The problem is that I became a Cubs fan. They still haven’t won a World Series since I was your age, and by the way you saw them play when you were here in Chicago, they won’t win this year either. You may want to rethink that Cardinals fan bit, though. They don’t come to Boston very often. Can’t wait to see you again. And the monkey collection, too. Tomorrow! Love, Uncle Andy

    Thank you for the comment Uncle Andy and I hope that we have a fun time at Grant’s house! The Cubs are pretty good I like them too, I’m sad they haven’t won a World Series too but I hope they do. Love, Eli

    HELLO, ELI!!!! I just checked your site, which I have not been able to do in a while and I saw the news! The all important news that you have joined us (me and Rich and most of our dearest family and friends) as a baseball fan!! Welcome to the club, buddy. We will be here for you to cheer, and here for you when you cry (sometimes your favorite team loses a VERY big game and gets knocked out of the running). There is a lot to learn, but even more to LOVE about baseball. SO happy to hear about your experience watching the Cardinals, and Albert Pujols. My cousin lives in St. Louis and he LOVES Albert Pujols. I LOVE YOU ELI. And please say hello to the rest of the family. Especially Alex.

    Love, love, love from Laurie

    Eli this is an awesome post, I love the videos of you dancing & celebrating the win! I think it’s so cool that you started liking baseball after this game. What I really want to know is do you like the Yankees like Alex does or are you a Red Sox fan?

    Looks like you guys are having a great summer!

    Love you all
    xx
