Larry Crook: Eight good reasons to get out to a Nuts game

Why I like going to baseball games: Some of the athletes, and most of the crowd, are out of shape. There is no time limit to the game. Will usually eat a hot dog and other junk food. Littering is allowed and not even frowned upon. Yelling, screaming, groin adjusting and spitting is considered normal behavior. Gotta go to a Modesto Nuts game soon!
