Oh, and I almost forgot .....

When we were in Cincinnati Peter took in a Reds Game. He got a ticket from a scalper 5 minutes before the game started, and ended up sitting 5 rows back just behind first base - for $20! The Reds played the Chicago Cubs and, unfortunately, they lost :( It seemed like there were as may Cubs fans there as Reds fans, so alot of people were happy about the loss!

Highlight of the night: Cubs player hits down the first base line and the umpire picks it up. He looks into the crowd, smirks, then puts the ball in his pocket. Every person sitting in that area booed him for this! Joey Votto, the Reds first base man, had a big grin on his face the whole time. So, after the final out of that inning (put out at first), Votto threw the ball into the crowd - into the hands of one Peter Connolly!

That's awesome! I can't even remember the last time I went to a baseball game.

Of course, while in NZ there was no talk of it... only Rugby
