Since 2008 is coming to an end, I decided to take a look back and make a list of my favorite things from this year.  Here you go, in no particular order.

#1. Food  I discovered real food earlier this year.  I still dig milk, but food is pretty darn good.  I’ve had food that’s all different colors, shapes and smells.  I gotta say, I like just about all of it.  My favorites are cheese and pizza. 

#2. Batting Practice  I like going to the ballpark early to catch batting practice.  I’ve caught balls, gotten autographs and met some of my favorite players.  Batting practice was a great discovery for 2008. 

#3. Clapping  Clapping’s my favorite.  It’s way underrated.  I’m glad I figured out how to do it.  You should try it sometime. 

#4. Road Trips and Away Games  I’m pretty lucky.  I got to travel alot this year.  I managed to visit two Major League Ballparks in addition to Coors Field.  I hope to visit at least two more next season. 

#5. Double Headers  Two games for the price of one!  Are you kidding me!  I managed to hit my first double header in Baltimore, when the Orioles played the Rays.  You can read all about it if you search a little deeper in my blog.  I was instantly hooked.  You’ve got to check these out. 

#6. My Bears  These guys really understand me.  Not to mention, their fur is yummy. 

#7. Mascots  Furry and silly, mascots from all around always put a smile on my face. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#8.  MLBlogs  This place rocks!  It gives me the chance to talk with people around the country about something I love…  baseball.  I could spend days just reading other blogs and enjoying all of the creativity and hard work that goes into it.  I hope you enjoy my little spot here on the web as much as I enjoy posting and sharing with you. 
Best of 2008 Honorable Mentions: Music (especially Vampire Weekend – they make me want to dance); hanging with my family and friends; all of the deer and wildlife at Pap and Gran C’s place; Sesame Street; my kitties (not to be confused with the Angry Kittens); living in Colorado.

Hope you have a great 2009!
