The Series winner is determined through a best-of-seven playoff, meaning that the first team to win four games wins the series. The World Series has been an annual event since 1903. It is played at the baseball stadiums of the two teams in the series.

Bowie Baysox Baseball Game

A few brave au pairs showed up for the baseball game last night. We had rain off and on all day. So, we were really lucky that we had no rain at all last night for the game. It was not the most action packed baseball game, but they can all say they have been to an American baseball game. I have the pictures to prove it.  The fireworks were a nice way to end the evening. Click on any of the photos to view them full size in our Cluster Photobucket album.

Bowie Baysox Baseball Game

We had fun at the Bowie Baysox baseball game on Sunday.  For many of the au pairs, it was their first baseball game they have attended.   A group of my au pairs charmed a kind usher into allowing them to move down from general admission to some really great seats.

If anyone got pictures of the post-game fireworks, please share them with me, so I can post them here. Thanks!
