alrighty. let's admit it, nicies. 
baseball's totally the best team sport, right? :) 

we sure think so at the rikrak home.
we just adore baseball. and yay to the season now upon us!

and there's such a great art to it, isn't there?
yet so many dear friends say NAY to baseball: 
"too slow" i hear
"too dull" i hear.
i shake my head at that!
i'll have none of it.

"so great" i say
"so fun" i say.
(and so happily NON-violent! yay!) 

long live our favourite summer pastime!

baseball: yay or nay nicies?
(and yes - that IS the fabulous blue jays vintage 
uniform font up there. GO JAYS!) 

& who do you cheer for?

  3. Yes, we like baseball here too!! :) We are a split household here...between the phillies and the not so good orioles. If you need a little baseball decor?...you could always make a baseball pillow http://buzzmills.typepad.com/blog/2011/09/baseball-pillow-a-tutorial.html
    to rest your head on...that is one of my husband's favorite things to do...watch baseball and drift off for an "accidental" nap ;)
