The Ball

Saturday night we went to Dodger's stadium to see them take on the Mariners. We sat in the outfield pavilion where they serve all-you-can-eat Dodger food, and where it's convenient for my brothers to harass the outfielders. The best part was when Aaron's all time favorite player, Ken Griffey Jr., hit his 620th home run right at us. Literally... right at us. It even hit me in the leg.
From right to left: Tasha, Maurice, Aaron, Me, Katie, Kai, and Erik

This is the shot from Sport's Center, where you can't even see me because I was ducking for my life and everyone else was jumping on top of us.



After the ball slipped through a few people's fingers, hit me in the leg, and landed on the ground, Aaron swiped it and has been a happy boy since.


- He said it was like Christmas.

Aaron looks like a giddy little school girl - congrats on the catch!

When there is a large ball flying at you and you know tons of fans will be jumping on you. I usually go into the fetal position!

LOL, fetal position! Hey, I get it now! Aaron, you showed me that ball and never said why. I was thinking, "okay, it's a baseball." Now that I read this I understand. How exciting, congratulations! And on Kali's birthday, too!

That's amazing! What a fun experience and a home run from his favorite player just makes it that much sweeter!

Is Aaron wearing a man-purse across his chest?

Aaron is not wearing a man purse across his chest... he is wearing MY purse across his chest,
