These United States [Wednesday, May 28, 2014]

"The second most American thing--right after the president of the school board, Stephen Colbert, riding on a bald eagle while holding a semi-automatica weapon and eating bacon to the strains of 'God Bless the USA'--is knocking off from school or work in the middle of the day in order to attend a baseball game in the afternoon," Josh said, "which is why we're here at Citi Field in beautiful...Flushing, shut up I didn't name it...to watch the Mets play the Pittsburgh Pirates."

He glanced at the class. "Not actual pirates. Or...mets."

He then went into a very detailed description of how baseball worked as he led them to their seats along the first base line. "Eat hot dogs, drink soda--no beer, and yes I'll catch you-- heckle the players, learn to keep a box score--I'll help with that if you want, my dad was really into it--and have fun. Baseball, the all-American pastime."

He plopped his Mets hat on his head and sat down in his plastic seat, ready for the game to start.

Baseball!

Explore the stadium! Get your picture taken with Mr. Met!

Swing, batter, batter...

Josh will teach you how to score the game if you'd like.

Oh, baseball.

Will West

Will hadn't ever been to a baseball field like this before. His parents had never really had the time or the motivation to take him to a game. And even if they had, they tended to be in places where fields like this were far away.

Needless to say, Will took a lot of time with wandering around an exploring.

Once he'd gotten done exploring, Will found his way to his seat and settled in for the game. He just hoped it'd be an interesting one.

Paddra Nsu-Yeul

Baseball wasn't something she knew anything about, so Yeul listened as the teacher went into detail about it. It sounded like a pleasant way to spend a class, watching a game where, presumably, everyone would be having fun.

Of course, being Yeul, she wandered off to explore the stadium.

It was about fifty-fifty that she'd remember to get back to her seat in time to watch any of the game, but at least she wouldn't leave the stadium?

Kathy Li

Kathy had decided to try to get another Chicago dog from the stand. This proved to be a poor idea.

"What, you think you're hea to see the Cubs or somethin'? Get oudda hea!"

Scurrying now! Kathy was scurrying away.

Mercy won't, but she'll enjoy the game with you!
