Sitting 1st row right behind Cards dugout...
Top of the 3rd...1 out...Ryan Church up. Turns on a pitch and bounces it over the Cardinals dugot...coming right at me...and I barehand it....2 hands of course.
Held it up for a few seconds and got a nice response from the crowd
Sittin there in the 8th and a father and his two young boys came down and sat where we were sittin. (6 & 8 maybe) Well anyways they were amazed on how close they were and were totally enthralled in the game.
Cards went down in the 8th and me and my buddy decided to leave. The two young boys with theyre father reminded me alot of me with my dad when we had season tickets for the cards....
And I remeber when i was about theyre age i was at a game (cards vs expos) and Tim Wallach hit a ball tords our section. The man who caught it ended up giving me the ball and i still remeber it like it was yesterday....
Were about to leave and i decide im going to give the ball to the little guys....Give them the ball and they are exstatic....Tell the dad that someone did the same for me when i was theyre age and never forgot it....
The dad shook my hand and thanked me...
Just made me realize how I cant wait to have my own son and experience something like that with him....Really puts things into perspective.
