From my first baseball game to the World Series - following the Texas Rangers

I couldn't be happier for the Texas Rangers after their incredible World Series victory last night. I've been a fan of the team since my first baseball game at Globe Life Field in August 2022, and it's been an amazing journey to watch them grow and succeed.

I've loved following the Rangers this season, even though it's meant staying up late to watch games from the UK. It's all been worth it, though, to see the team finally reach the top of the mountain.

Congratulations to the Rangers on an amazing season!


As a Brit, I've always been fascinated by American culture, and baseball is a big part of that.  So when I had the opportunity to visit the US in August 2022, I knew I had to go to a baseball game. I chose the Texas Rangers vs. Oakland Athletics game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and I'm so glad I did.

My wife and I arrived at the ballpark early to soak up the atmosphere. There were people of all ages and backgrounds, all excited to see the Rangers play. We visited the award winning vegan concession stand where we bought a hot dog, nachos and drinks, and the found our seats. 

The game itself was amazing. The Rangers won, but it was more than just the score that made it so special. The stadium created a truly unique atmosphere.  We were also impressed by the skill and athleticism of the players.

One of the things I loved most about the game was the sense of community. Everyone was there to have a good time, and there was a real camaraderie among the fans. I also appreciated the fact that the game was affordable and accessible to people of all ages and incomes.

Before and during the game, I walked around the stadium and took some photos. I wanted to capture the memories of this special day. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to experience a baseball game at Globe Life Field. It was an unforgettable experience, and it made me fall in love with the sport.

If you're ever in the US during baseball season, I highly recommend going to a game. It's a truly unique and American experience.

Tomorrow's You Know 2023

PlasticSole

One of our beloved tracks "Tomorrows You Know" is making a grand return! This song holds a special place in my heart - it's one of our oldest and dearest, a track we used to kick off our live shows with as you can see here.

The original version was a bit of a hidden gem on our "Notice to the Parish Council" EP, but its catchy tune demanded the spotlight, so we decided it was time to give it a fresh spin, updating the sound and vibe to match where we are today!

"Tomorrow's You Know" by PlasticSole is a fast-paced indie rock pop anthem that bursts with energy and urgency. The song revolves around the theme of seizing the moment and not procrastinating when it comes to making important decisions in life.

The track kicks off with an infectious rhythm, setting the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics portray a sense of anticipation, as the protagonist is waiting for a significant event to happen while being away from someone dear.

The first verse speaks of waiting for that special day when a loved one arrives, and the uncertainty of whether it will make the protagonist want to stay. The lyrics evoke a feeling of restlessness and excitement, hinting at the desire for a meaningful connection.

The chorus comes in with a catchy melody, emphasizing the importance of not delaying actions until the next day. The lines "If you leave it till tomorrow, I never thought that I would be the one to let you know" convey a sense of realization and regret that the protagonist must seize the opportunity now, without delay.

The song's bridge adds a touch of playfulness with the "Oo-oo la la la" phrase, adding to the overall dynamic and fun atmosphere.

The final verse revisits the idea of waiting for something to happen, this time using the metaphor of "sleeping on the job" and waiting for a metaphorical bomb to drop. The lyrics emphasize the tension and uncertainty in the protagonist's life, wondering if the awaited event will have a profound impact.

"Tomorrow's You Know" is a powerful indie rock pop track that encourages listeners to embrace the present and take action rather than waiting for the perfect moment. PlasticSole's high-energy performance and captivating lyrics make this song a standout addition to their repertoire, leaving audiences feeling exhilarated and inspired to make the most of every opportunity that comes their way.
