I didn’t plan to spend an entire afternoon playing a game about anthropomorphic snacks—but here we are. Doodle Baseball, Google’s July 4th Doodle, turned my browser into a tiny, chaotic stadium where burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream cones became my unlikely teammates.

Morning Warm-Up: The Hot Dog Disaster

Afternoon Highlights: Burger Power

I cheered like a commentator at the World Series, narrating every swing and pretending my tiny snack stadium was packed with fans. The burger was unstoppable… until it fumbled spectacularly and reminded me that chaos is part of the fun.
