Take Me Out to the Ballgame

New Americans Boone, Warren and Elliott Whitney got their first tastes of their new country's national pastime on July 5 at Rangers Ballpark.

Elliott seemed not to notice that a baseball game was taking place on the big, green field below him. He was, however, a confirmed fan of Goldfish crackers.


Boone roots on his hometown Texas Rangers (they beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-2), while Warren suffers from a bout of Short Attention Span Theater.


I believe the Rangers' second-baseman had just booted a routine grounder. Boone, the best baseball fan among the young Whitneys, was clearly displeased.
