Dating a baseball player means more than you would think. It isn't just one game a week and a few cute pictures together by the baseball field. It's traveling all over the state for double headers in 95 degree weather, postponed dates for practice, and staying dedicated to them like they have to for you and their beloved game. It has its ups and downs but at the end of the day, we all can agree on these 14 things:
1. If you say Ref instead of Umpire you get an evil eye.
Trust me, there's a difference.
2. You have to pretend you know what they're talking about half the time.
Talk baseball to me.
3. You have more baseball tees than real shirts.
They're usually free though.
4. You no longer flinch when the batter hits a ball straight back into the net.
The net's got your back.
5. If you haven't seen the Sandlot already, you will with him.
It's actually pretty good.
6. You know all the different kinds of seeds.
If you love him, you won't buy the chili lime.
7. You probably find cans of chew everywhere.
"I swear I'm gonna quit." ..........
8. You know the season doesn't end after school does.
Summer ball is still a joke though.
9. Even on vacation, they still have to hit the gym.
At least it's usually at 6 a.m.
10. He has probably vented about how hard baseball is numerous times.
"You don't just throw a ball OKAY?!"
11. Practice trumps holidays.
We have to recreate a lot.
12. You've seen a lot of butt slaps.
Don't ask why.
13. You hear a song and instantly know whose walk-out song it is.
If he picked "My House," he's not the one.
14. Traveling is nothing new.
Another week, another state.
