This article describes the experiences of two doctoral students immersed in the process of learning ethnographic research. Through the use of a composite narrative of our experiences observing the culture at a division one university baseball complex, we contribute to the literature by sharing our perspectives as ethnographers-in-progress. We discuss three main areas: (1) issues related to our introduction to the field of ethnography; (2) learning the process as we experienced it; and (3) our evolution in learning to live ethnographically. Finally, we will conclude with ways in which these learning experiences inform our practices as beginning ethnographers.
