“I must be in the front row!”

I drove to Milwaukee after a week at the writing workshop in Iowa City. Milwaukee was charming. The ballpark is phenomenal (though I wish it was down by the lake and not out on the Interstate). I was nearly in the front row. I was 6 rows up from home plate and my ticket was very reasonably priced. Bob Uecker is literally the last row in the park! Ha!

I could not get over how nice everyone was at this ballpark. The parking lot is full of tailgate parties. When I got to the ballpark I was welcomed at the gate. I literally heard, “Welcome to Miller Park,” over and over.

I got a bratwurst and then wished that I had gotten the sausage nachos (chorizo, bratwurst, italian sausage and polish sausage on nachos).
