As I sit here preparing this post, I realized that some people might think this food holiday has something to do with the World Series.  Game 1 will be played in Boston on Boston Cream Pie Day … coincidence?  Totally!

This post was supposed to be about cupcakes, but I really think I want to write about baseball.  And since it’s my blog, I’m going to do just that.

I played softball for eight years.  I have brothers who played baseball, and the youngest is the only son to have not played (he’s almost 4, so there’s still time!).  We’ve celebrated birthdays at Victory Field in Indianapolis.  Our youngest wears a Cubs hat almost every day.  Although he just calls it his “blue hat with the red C on it.”

We lived across the street from the Ball State’s baseball field.  I loved to hear the ping of the bat hitting the ball.  I love going to the Indianapolis Indians games or a Cubs/Reds game in Cincinnati and hearing the crack of the bat.  I have to say that I am partial to the sound of a wooden bat.

I hope that one day we can take the boys to Wrigley to see a game.  There is some thing about old ballparks that I love.  New parks are beautiful, but the depth of history in old ballparks will win out every time!

Honestly, I haven’t been to a ballgame in years, and we don’t have regular tv to watch a game.  I take that back.  I watched some of the Little League World Series in a pizza place in Indy after a day at the zoo.

I just looked into getting World Series tickets for the Saturday game in St. Louis. The cheapest tickets were $312.00 … each.  Oh My Ganache!  I guess that will be a dream for another day!

I will post the recipe for the cupcakes that I made later.  But for now, here is a photo …
