Top Ten Reasons to Go on a Date at a Ballpark!!!     (Ladies, any takers?)

• 10. Singing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" together during the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field.
• 9. Not having to show what a bad dancer you are and get all sweaty.
• 8. You can enjoy the afternoon sun at The Ballpark at Arlington and then continue the date that night at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth or at Dallas' West End.
• 7. Nachos and french fries together in a plastic baseball helmet, and no need for clumsy tip calculations.
• 6. Punching your own All-Star ballots and debating over Jeff Bagwell and Todd Helton at first base. You can get the healthy disagreements on the table right away, show how knowledgeable each of you are, and then laugh about it.
• 5. Laughing together at that incorrigible Red Sox fan a few rows down from you at Yankee Stadium. Or vice-versa.
• 4. The home team is likely to win, and happy endings are good.
• 3. Natural conversation without pressure and not having to wait a couple of hours to talk to each other like at a movie.
• 2. Unforced hugging when John Smoltz strikes out the side or Shawn Green cleans the bases. It just feels natural.
• 1. Deciding on that second date at the ballpark.
