Jumeaux means Twins

Yesterday, we took Abel to his first Twins Game!  He had been to a Mariners game when he was in the US last summer, but this was definitely a first time experience!  

It's official - his first game certificate!

 It was great to be able to have him sit next to Andrew to explain him all of the weird baseball rules that no one thinks about.  First foul ball? Strike.  Second foul ball?  Strike.  Then you can hit as many as you like.  Tag up if a pop fly is hit. Checked swings may or may not be a strike. Hit by a pitch means a walk.  You know...all the standard rules that Americans just grow up learning.


He still needs to learn Take Me Out to the Ballgame, but we'll work on that one.

He didn't know who Kirby Puckett was, but made an excellent pose anyway.
