My favorite part of today was once again working with the knockerballs. We recruited four young men to climb into giant inflatable balls and run into each other at full speed with the goal of racing around a cone before the other team. Today’s knockerballs competitors were a bit more sporadic than yesterday’s as they did not exactly stick to the rules of the game but instead spent the entire time trying to run into each other. Once our time limit between innings hit, we tried to herd them off of the field so the game could resume, however this proved to be very difficult. Not only did they stray from the goal of the game, they did not listen to our commands to “get off the field quickly”. Although the team had to exert a bit more energy than usual getting them off the field, it was quite amusing for the crowd and me. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a video of the chaos because I was on the field with the team creating a human barrier for the game. I did, however, find time to snap of a picture of the “Zooperstars”, giant inflatable mascot costumes that ran around the files and danced between several of the innings. Not only were they funny to look at, they interacted with some of the baseball players and fans and did hilarious things that made the crowd roar. Although I didn’t help coordinate their appearance because the promo team wasn’t as involved, I really enjoyed watching their performance as if I were one of the fans. Today was a wrap up of the weekday games and I look forward to working the games this weekend!
