The Red Angel, my wife, has been in America for just over a week now. Today we attended a Kansas City Royals baseball game. This was her first baseball game and my babies also. It was a beautiful day, the sun was out and the hot dogs where delicious. How much more American can a day be. But today my wife made me cry.

Your story made me cry too. Welcome to your wife and baby.
Wish my beloved Royals had given you something to cheer about today.
The Royals did give us something to cheer about. They played a baseball game in a free country on a wonderful spring afternoon. A game where I was free to badger the other team. Talk politics with my brother and see smiling faces on the children hoping to catch a foul ball. Both teams fielded players from not only America but many other countries. Not only whites but many races. Not only Christians but many religions. They showed us what the world could be like in a free democratic country that is ruled by a constitution. Nothing to cheer about. I cheered my head off :) I to would have liked a win though :) thanks
