It's Stitch N' Pitch

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had an article about a Stitch N' Pitch game that was held at the end of July. These events sell special tickets to baseball games, where the goodie bags are needlework supplies. It's basically an attempt to reach out to more women to take an interest in the sport.

I used to follow basebal years ago, but while it's more fun to attend a game, I don't find professional baseball intersting enough to spend the time to watch. I might if I'm channel surfing, but that's about it. But, I'd love to go to a game now that I stitch. Several hours of stitching time outside and watch the game? Great idea. What I don't care for is the tone of the article, though, which seems to have made sure to quote people who don't usually follow baseball much. And I find it hilarious the guy that said, "It's boring," when asked if he'd take up knitting. To me, I don't think I could sit that long at a game anymore without doing SOMETHING with my hands. That sounds much more boring to me!
