Geocache Description:


CONGRATS Ghostiegal AND ksgator72 FOR BEING THE FTF!!!

The cache is located at the Plagens-Carpenter Ball Park.
You are looking for a pill bottle with several items for trade.

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win, it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.

Imagine if you will, standing outside the fence in left field watching the ball game and rooting for the home team. It’s the bottom of the 9th inning, score is tied at 2 to 2, with 2 outs and nobody on. Batter up! Then over the loud speaker you hear the announcer yell “He hit a Yakker in the Wheelhouse trying not to Whiff. He sends the Pearl over the fence for a Tater!” Do you yell in excitement or head to the concession stand and get ready for extra innings? See below for some common and not so common baseball terms.
