Opening Day at the baseball park ~ PLAY BALL!!!

Our 1st anniversary coincided with Opening Day at the AstroDome. We had just enough money to see the game and eat a hot dog. We made it a tradition and now have celebrated our union at the ball park on 40 of our 42 years together!

This sounds like an absolutely wonderful and heart-felt gift and I certainly wouldn't ever look to change this tradition. Sure, it's a "baseball game" every year, but every game is a new experience on it's own and your Husband's love for it is abundantly clear! Happy Birthday to your Hubby and I really have enjoyed reading about not only your love for him, but his love of the game also. I enjoy baseball myself, but I never get to watch it unfortunately. I would love to be at an opening game too one day!

i would think it is not at all boring to give him a gift which he lovess so much ,afterall we give our partners a gift to make them happy.give my wishes also to your hubby.

As long as he appreciate it's it, I feel it is not boring to give the same gift each year. I'd love that type of gift. I am lucky to get a card from my wife actually each year. By the way, today is my sober birthday, I have 18 years clean and sober today. Where's my Twins tickets? Hee hee! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

Boring or lazy?? No how , no way - I think it is beautiful and romantic to know how deeply in love you are with him and how much pleasure you get from knowing he is enjoying himself. I was almost in tears when I read this my darling sis as I know it comes directly from the heart and is just so wonderful! Really don;t want to lower the tone but my other half always wants underwear and socks ...and chocolate so he always gets some of each! lol Sorry trust me to lower the tone! Hope you both had a brilliant day and please wish hi a Happy Birthday from me for tomorrow and kisses too! xxxx

Wow! Your hubby is one lucky guy! I have a friend who has a live-in boyfriend and every year she complains about his interest in football. Every year we have the same conversations that she knows I will not cosign because I am a football fan. The two of them both like basketball though so they sometimes go to the Hornets games together.

Well, I am actually responding back to this discussion right at the time of the playoffs. But it is Good to hear that you and your husband do enjoy Baseball and can go to games from time to time. Giving him a present of opening day tickets is a wonderful gift for sure. Hope it was a wonderful memorable day for you both.

If that is what he loves so much, I don't think it's boring or lazy at all. If you gave him something he felt indifferent about, or hated, then it would be boring and lazy to do that every year, but since he loves baseball so much, you love baseball so much, and it's something you can do together, I think you should go for it.

I am not a sports fan, but I do believe it is important to get someone what makes them happy and if baseball is what makes him happy I too would get him that every years. As they say, we only live once.

I think it's an awesome gift! And I bet he looks forward to it every year....I wish I could do that for my son....but the tickets are expensive and I give everyone the same thing.....since I have six adults and four kids to buy for I have to try to keep things equal...but I don't think it's lazy of you....it's very very thoughtful!

Ahhh, I remember those days. In my late teens I was very much interested in baseball. Obviously it started because the guys were really cute, but it didn't stop there. I got to know the game inside and out and I could carry on a lengthy conversation with one of those older guys who sit there at every game with the score cards who know more about the game than the players themselves, you know? I was there at every home game every season (we're talking triple A, not big leagues). I even travelled to a few places to see their away games, and went to Toronto and New York to see major league games. Those were fun days! The biggest problem was that at this time of year, it's not very warm out yet, so some days down at the ball park were very frigid! But I still went. I stopped around the time I hit 19 or 20 years old. I got involved in a couple serious relationships, so saw no need to go drool over the cute ball players as much anymore. Eventually it got to a point where I didn't know the players as well anymore. In the end I stopped going completely. The last time I went to a game was when my son's little league team took the field for the national anthem with the team, and that was well over 3 years ago that happened.

how lucky u are . i think it's a great gift. i also think u both are very lucky to have each others love the way u do.
