Tribe Time
My wife, my oldest son and I had the pleasure of watching the Cleveland Indians spank the Kansas City Royals soundly and in person on Saturday night.
We always try to attend at least one game every season, and the tickets that were purchased by my wife for my birthday were awesome. We were in the lower section just behind the Indians' dugout, and before the game, we went down to the field to get a player's autograph.
Jamey Carroll signed my baseball, my son's, and my wife's program. It was awesome!
The game was spectacular, including such highlights as the tribe's season record of 7 doubles in one game and Shin Soo Choo hitting a homerun for the first time in a month.
My favorite player, Kelly Shoppach, wasn't scheduled to catch that evening, but in the sixth inning, he came in as a pinch hitter and remained the catcher for the rest of the game.
We had an excellent time--a definite memory for the three of us who rarely get to do that sort of thing without all of the small children in tow.
