Stitch & Pitch

A couple of Saturdays ago we went to see the SJ Giants Stitch & Pitch event, sponsored by FTA. There, you can see Principessa with Hollis and her family - Paperino refused to let Gigante (the gorilla) come near him, and who can blame him?
So, I get the whole stitch & pitch thing, but I can't help but wonder how the people who are not knitting can get through more than three hours of something that goes like this: throw ball, nothing happens; throw another ball, nothing happens; throw another ball, buy beer; oh, look, someone is walking from one base to the other, aren't they supposed to run?
Yes, I know, I am so European ........
