My Warning Track Adventures, or how I got to wear the man in my icon's pants
First off, I was away this weekend, so happy belated birthday to cornerinfielder and
sheep_mambo! I hope you both had wonderful days!
Now where was I this weekend? My parents bought tickets to the last Saturday game at Citi Field through the Gary, Keith and Ron Foundation - a lot of the money for the tickets went to charity, and in return the ticket holders got to walk onto the warning track for the national anthem. So I was standing on a Major League warning track. I was shaking. Literally. My legs were like jelly. It was kind of beautiful.
The other exciting thing from Saturday is that, well...Josh Thole's pants have made their way to my dorm room. They were selling game-used merchandise, and in lieu of anything that was once worn by Daniel Murphy, Thole's pants were acquired. This led to this picture:
Insert a joke about how I got into Thole's pants here.
And to top it off, Jed. Jed, you just...you amaze me. You utterly amaze me. That first career grand slam was just beautiful...except I was in the car when you hit it and couldn't see. But I'm sure it was the most beautiful home run hit at Fenway all year.
You had better be on that playoff roster, you genius.
