A Baseball Party for Opening Day

Baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie are often referred to as the core of American culture. Baseball fits into this equation because it is traditionally a family sport and one of the favorite past times of people in the U.S. Get a few people together on a Sunday afternoon and you can easily have a fun baseball game. It is also a sport in which many children participate for exercise and to learn about teamwork. While girls generally play softball, baseball is a gender-free sport. A great time for a baseball party is Opening Day of the Major League. This typically takes place in April around the start of spring. The Cincinnati Reds baseball team hosted Opening Day for more than a century. The arrival of spring and the anticipation of what a new season of baseball will bring makes a baseball party a perfect spring event.

A baseball party can take place anywhere. Since a baseball game between guests is a given, an outdoor venue works best for a baseball party. There doesn’t have to be a single game. There can be a game between the young guests and another game between adults, or the two pitted against each other. The attendees can decide what’s best. Awards can be in the form of small trophies or t-shirts.

Baseball is a sport that requires some physical exertion. Plenty of food and drink should be on hand at a baseball party. As mentioned previously, baseball along with hot dogs and apple pie are considered the heart of America. Other foods that can work well with an outdoor baseball party include hamburgers, barbeque, and sandwiches. Just about any food will work at this party. The only thing to keep in mind regarding food is that foods that have a long life without refrigeration are recommended.
