Journal Entry #14

Write about your experience at the Angels game

Watching baseball at Angels Stadium was the new and exciting experience for me. I had never watched baseball game in the stadium before, so last Sunday game was the first time for me. I felt that the Angels stadium was huge. Before I had gotten into the stadium, I didn't realize that there were a lot of people in the stadium. Since it was not playoff or important match, but there was still a lot of people watching the game. That make me realize that American like baseball a lot. I can't imagine how much people will be in the playoff game. The game was between Detroit Tiger and Los Angeles Angel. Since the first inning, Angel did well in the game, and scored a lot of points. Angel scored points in each inning, but Tiger didn't. The gap of the point became bigger which made the game less fun for me. We knew that Angel will win the game, so Brandon, Yoko, and I walked around to take some pictures. We tried to take the pictures near the players, but stadium stuff kept us away. We had a lot of fun taking pictures and talking about American baseball.
