I always, alllllways wear my Boston Red Sox hat to every baseball game I attend... I have never had any other thought then to put on my old beloved worn in blue and red... until the other night. I was talking about my hat and the game when my husband said to me... Really? You are seriously still going to wear your hat to a padres game when there is not a red sox player in sight and most importantly you have lived here, in SD, for almost half of your life (16 years!). So, I fought it at first, I said, yes of course I am! Then I sat there and realized, he was right, it's time to root for my home team... the Padres. So, the first thing I did when I got to the game, was purchase my SD blue and white Padres hat. I was a little nervous at first, thinking I may get struck down by Boston lightning but by the 2nd inning, It actually felt really good, to let something go... something I held on to for so long. And to cheer for something new. It was like I grew up a bit, right then and there. Ah, growth. We ended up losing that night ( like losing, losing) and for the first time, I actually felt it!
