What to Wear to a Major League Baseball Game // Texas Rangers

What to wear to a MLB baseball game.

Let's play a game of raise your hand. Never played before? It's ok, it is real easy to pick up. Just answer the questions by raising your hand. Ok, ready?
Raise your hand if you have a select few vacation days at work, so they must be used wisely...  *raises hand* (See, easy right?)
Raise your hand if you are using one today

*raises hand*
Raise your hand if you are using a precious vacation day today  to go to your MLB team's home opener *raises hand*

Raise your hand if you are gonna eat this today

*raises hand*  Raise your hand if you are maybe gonna eat this today too

*raises hand*

All of the hand raises, because it is MLB opening day in Texas y'all, and I'm going! You may not believe this, but I've never been to opening day before. As much as I love baseball, I'm ashamed to even say those words out loud. So when CB was offered ONE ticket from a friend, I wasn't about to let him text me all day with, "wish you were here" messages. I promptly went to Stubhub and purchased a $53 standing room only seat. Worth it. 
But what to wear??  Well, that's the easy part! 

All of the Rangers gear shown is from one of my favorite sites for logo apparel, Fanatics. I love everything they offer, from cool Tennessee Vols vintage tees, to Cowboys jerseys and most importantly at this very moment, Rangers gear!  Fanatics is the largest retailer of officially licensed sports merchandise and provides the ultimate shopping experience to sports fans! 

Their site is really easy to navigate, I may or may not have popped over to the Atlanta Braves page too. What? I grew up a Braves fan, I can't just quit them overnight! 

Shown above: 

// Rangers V-Neck Shirt (on sale!) // 

Also bought this shirt, which I'm sure you'll see me wearing later this season!

  // Rangers Pennant //
// Travel Mug (on sale!) // Pro tip: coffee is necessary, we will be tailgating at 8am

 

 

    // Texas Rangers Hat //   I also own this one too -  shown in that picture of me eating bacon on a stick... (bacon on a stick not included, sorry.)

Don't forget the bubble gum, Big League Chew comes highly recommended.   
Not going to be at the ballpark tomorrow?  Suckaaaaaaaaaaas -- JK LOL LYLAS.
Instead, follow along with me on Instagram and watch me eat bacon on a stick.  While you're at work. I'll be eating bacon on a stick. While you're at work. MUAHAHHAHAHAHA

What to Wear To A Game / Match / Race / Event...

  In my perfect world, I would have a pair of tickets in my hand 24/7/365. I will go to any and all sporting events in Dallas. Well, that is too specific. I will go to any sporting event, period. There is living proof of this when I agreed to go to a soccer match on my second date with Chalupa Batman. I'm used to flexing my sports knowledge muscle in front of the guys. Heck, I am pretty proud to flex that muscle, I think it helps on dates! But this man took me to the one sporting event where I have absolutely no idea what's going on.  I guess it worked out ok in the end, huh?  Today, I thought I would compile a list of my recommendations, using past outfits and past blog posts, for what to wear to any and all sporting events!

What to Wear to the Kentucky Derby

I'm pretty much bursting at the seems to bring you today's post. Last week, I mentioned on Instagram that I will be going to the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby as a Cottonelle Correspondent. 

This will be my very first trip to the Kenutcky Derby, but as I'm sure Helene would agree, since I did live in Kentucky for two years and have been to Keeneland more times than I can count, I totally get it! 

Ok, ok, ok... so Keeneland is nothing compared to what's known as the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports, the Kentucky Derby. Even though I'll be devoting Fan Friday's post this week to the Derby (and maybe helping you guys win some cash money if you are planning on doing some off-site betting) here is a quick run down on this year's Derby.

The 2014 Kentucky Derby

When: May 3rd

Post Time (meaning the time the horses must be at their starting position): 6:24pm EST 

Length: 2 minutes (ish) 

Don't live in the Bluegrass State? You can still be part of the Derby Day excitement thanks to Cottonelle's Great Finish Sweepstakes. If the No. 1 and No. 2 positioned racehorses (hah, get it?! Cottonelle, get it?!) place in that order, the first 15,000 Americans to sign up here will win a year's supply of Cottonelle toilet paper and flushable cleansing cloths. Trust me, it is always more fun to watch sporting events, even if they are only two minutes long, when you have someone or in this case, some horses to root for!

So now let's get to the good stuff, getting Derby Day ready! For most sporting events I'm a jeans and converse kinda girl, but not for the Kentucky Derby. Looking good and feeling good is what the Derby is all about. Cottonelle has a Clean Room at the race this year with refreshments, a hair and makeup touch-up station and a fun opportunity to chat with their spokeswoman Cherry! But what about the beauty and fashion prep a girl's gotta do in the days leading up to the race?

This leads me to the most important question a girl must ask herself when attending the Kentucky Derby.......

My answer to this question is hat first, then dress. 

So today, I thought it would be fun to bring you hat shopping with me and play a little game. I tried on 8 different hats, all pictured below. To add a little fun, I'm going to give away Jerry Jones Ad Space, my largest ad space, to one person who leaves a comment and correctly guesses which hat I picked to wear on Derby Day! If more than one person guesses correctly, I'll pick the winner at random!

I'm not going announce which hat I chose today, you'll have to wait and find out on Saturday via Instagram.


On Derby Day, I'll Instagram a picture of the hat I picked and announce the winner of the ad space by tagging them in the photo! 

So, which hat did I pick?

To win the ad space, leave a comment below and make sure you aren't a no-reply blogger! If you aren't sure, simply include your email address with your comment!


And we're off to the races, places
Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in
