Do you enjoy eating mouth watering food in cute, take home dishes? Are you relentlessly searching for a new date night idea? Do you want to see crazy, painted fans and people getting hit in the face with baseballs? Whether you're in love with the Major League or don't even know what a homerun is, you should definitely consider going to a baseball game for your next outing. There's a reason baseball is called "America's favorite past time"- the games are freaking awesome- and here are eight reasons why to prove it. Oh, and by the way, GO RED SOX!

1. The food, duh

My favorite thing to get at baseball games is ice-cream in my team's "helmet".

2. Everyone is hyped the heck up

The home team's fans are going to be nuts, like this Red Sox fan.

3. The fan signs

"Hi Dad!" "Go Sox!" and... "I'm with stupid"?

4. You can catch (and keep) a ball- if you're lucky

Or watch someone get hit in the head for not paying attention.

5. The adorable little baseball boys

They're 8, play in their town's little league, and cheer so much. Adorable.

6. That sweet taste of hometown pride

I represent Bahston as well, boys. This is actually me when I visit Fenway:

7. The Snapchat geo-filters are lit

I like when you can show the score on your photos the most!

8. The mascots are insanely hilarious

Orbit, the mascot of the Astros, is something else. Here's a GIF of him streaking at a game:

Whether you're one of those cute eight year olds or an old grown up, you can have a blast at a baseball game.
