This past Friday, I tossed out the first pitch of my 2024 Summer of Fun by taking my daughter – a star right-fielder for her T-ball team – to her very first baseball game at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in, you guessed it, Bricktown.
At first, she was lukewarm to the idea, but once I told her A) they had Dippin' Dots, B) we could keep any baseballs that we caught, and C) there were fireworks after the game, she was all for it.
It was my first time to catch a minor league game since the pandemic, and there, underneath a beautiful sky, we watched the OKC Baseball Team battle 2016 World Series baserunning hero Albert Almora Jr. and the Reno Aces!
