One of my kids just started playing Tee Ball and we had our first two games this past weekend. It's a lot of fun to watch, but it's a guilty pleasure because you're enjoying the complete and total incompetence!
Case in point, one of the few outs recorded (most innings end when the batting team scores 5 runs) came when a line drive bounced off the "pitcher" and rolled straight to the 1st baseman (slow enough for him to grab it).
I decided to score the play as a ground out, 1-3.

years ago, when I lived in Angel City, I often went to take in a Dodger game. Chavex Ravine was a comfortable place to watch the game, and I found that keeping score made it tolerable. That said, more Angelenos went to the game to PeopleWatch than to support the team, I'm convinced. I remember a classic cartoon where people in the stands trained their binoculars on each other, versus the action on the field: so true! Hey - is that Jack Nicholson?
Also, there was the gourmet component of the game, as we purists knew that grilled DodgerDogs (available only on the top rear) were soooo much better than the steamed ones! Yum, yum. Time to fly DFW-LAX to get one of dem dawgz! Do the T-ballers got dat? Didn't think so!
Other than the ice-cream truck that comes around once or twice an hour (totally disrupting the game!) there is no professional food service available at tee ball games.
