Today
in Human Geography Mr. Schick returned from his trip to the World Series. Mr.
Schick wasn’t actually able to purchase tickets for spots at the game, but he
was outside the park partying all night (Just joking Mr. Schick). Mr. Schick
talked about how all of this is tied to his family because his whole family are
Cub’s fans. Mr. Schick also showed us some pictures of him there, which were
pretty cool. When he was going through the pictures, one of them was of just
his face with the entrance to the stadium behind him. The smile on his face was
clearly of pure joy, but I almost fell out of my seat from surprise (Still
joking Mr. Schick). Mr. Schick showed us more pictures, and while he was doing
so told us why he took the pictures and what was going on. Mr. Schick also
showed us a video that a crazy man on his flight took of the man walking down
the aisle while getting all the Cub’s fans to sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ball
Game’. Unfortunately, the Cubs lost that night and the weird man’s video
somehow never had Mr. Schick in it, which left me wondering if Mr. Schick was
sitting in higher class seats than the weird man taking the video. Mr. Schick
also talked about how odd the time delays were when he was watching a game that
was occurring only a couple hundred feet away over ‘live’ television. People
would cheer in the stadium, but everyone outside was just left wondering what was
going on inside until the pitcher pitched the ball a couple seconds later. Mr.
Schick also talked about the different places he walked to in order to see the
game, and I thought that the whole story was pretty interesting (Teacher
stories are always really good).
