A Game of Thrones and Baseballs

I’ve been a fan of the TV show Game of Thrones for years. Marina has never watched it with me, but she was still interested in going to Game of Thrones Night at the Rockies game tonight. We both wanted to dress up, so we got costumes months ago. My costume was Catlyn Stark and Marina dressed as her daughter Arya.

When we arrived we saw that very few people dressed up for the event. But we didn’t really care. We had fun with those who did. And we got lots of compliments on our costumes.


We arrived early so we spent time talking with the people in front of us. They were from Baltimore and like to travel to different cities to see the Orioles play. It was interesting to hear about their experiences.

For the beginning of the game we had the sun shining in our eyes. So we got up in the second inning. We picked up our t-shirts and got in the line to meet Dinger. We were close to the front, so when he arrived at the beginning of the third inning we didn’t have to wait long.


We picked up snacks and drinks before going back to our seats. By then the sun was no longer blinding us. The game, however, wasn’t a great one. There was a lot of scoring, but the Rockies were behind the whole time. After the eighth inning, we decided to go home.
