Being American means at some point you have to take in a baseball game. Even if you don’t like baseball, going just for the atmosphere is well worth it. Two of our Nobbies stores just happen to be in the Omaha area which also just happens to be the home of the NCAA Men's College World Series which starts June 18, 2011.
This year marks a turning point in the College World Series history as it is the first year it is being held in the new TD Ameritrade Park and not in the old Rosenblatt Stadium. In fact, the new slogan is “History Happens Here”.

This year, make history by starting a new tradition supporting your favorite college baseball team with a baseball party on the day they play. Here are a few ideas to make it a great party.
Have a Slogan for your party to put on invitations or posters. A few examples are:
"Corey’s Home Run Happening’!”
“Grand Slam Gathering!”
“Hey now…Be an All-Star at Jason’s Party!”
“We’re gonna have a BALL at Taylor’s Baseball Bash!"
Guests should be dressed in their team colors. Of course you must have foam hands ready for guests to hold up during the game.

Have a mixed CD made to play in the background with all the baseball favorites such as:
• Take Me Out to the Ball Game - Jack Norworth (1908)
• Centerfield - John Fogerty (1985)
• All the Way - Eddie Vedder (2007)
• Glory Days - Bruce Springsteen (1984)
• Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball - Woodrow Buddy Johnson (1949)
• Cheap Seats - Alabama (1993)
• Joltin' Joe DiMaggio - Les Brown Orchestra (1941)

A baseball staple is to serve hot dogs (the ball park size), popcorn, and peanuts. Don’t forget the beer, but remember to drink responsibly. Give each guest so many baseball cards that they can “trade” for a drink of their choice. Serve drinks in stadium cups to give extra ambiance. Have an apple pie ready for dessert or make frosted baseball sugar cookies.
This is an easy party that makes a great tradition year after year. So take yourself out to the ball game by bringing the ball game to you.

Use table covers in the color of your team or try this grass table cover. Hang baseball string decorations or banners around your party area. Make a centerpiece out of some mini foam baseballs for your table or fill a popcorn container with flowers, candy, or popcorn (in the color of your team). Strategically place some pom poms, bats, mitts, and balls around the table. Place a diamond shaped piece of the “infield” under each plate as a placemat.
For the kids, give them all hand clappers and a stadium horn. The louder they are the better right? For an outside party, have children practice their pitching skills by tossing water balloons.
