Baseball and Star Wars

We usually attend at least one Rockies game every summer. This season, Marina was most interested in going on Star Wars night. Despite the warm weather, Marina wanted to dress as Jyn Urso, even though her Rey costume would be cooler.

We arrived early and Marina was concerned when we saw most people dressed in Rockies gear and not in Star Wars costumes. But when we got on the shuttle we saw a man in a Jedi robe and she relaxed. As we got closer to the stadium, we saw many more cosplayers.

Marina wanted to take part in the parade of people in costume before the game. We arrived just in time to line up for it. (I wasn’t in costume, but I was allowed to go with her.) We were at the back of the group and took a long walk through the stadium until we arrived on the field. As we walked, Marina waved at people and even high -fived people who had their hands out. It was a fun experience! She was pleased to note she was the only one dressed as Jyn.

After the parade, we settled into our seats. We had brought peanuts, so Marina was happy to dig into those. The family in front of us had two girls a little younger than Marina, so we talked with them for a bit. We all decided to go together to have pictures taken with Dinger during the third inning.

When we arrived for Dinger, the line was already long. We missed most of the inning, but it was worth it. Dinger wore a Jedi robe and he was accompanied by cosplayers dressed as Rey and Captain Phasma.

We picked up a snack on our way back to our seats and settled in for the game. It was a fun one to watch. The Rockies ended up winning 7-3.
