$26 ticket, 2:30 game, $8 parking, 35,041 people, cowbells, mohawks, #3 hits 2 home runs in his first two at bats, The White Sox LOSE 6-4 in the Rays first ever play off game, PRICELESS!
Mark "won" the ticket lottery for the Rays post season game. Which meant we "won" the opportunity to BUY tickets. We bought four to game one and four to game two. This is another of the strange things that you just do because well, it is fun. We had not idea when he bought the tickets what day or time the games would be. We only knew that the Rays made it to the play offs and we wanted to go. It is one of the those opportunities you have to jump on or the tickets will be gone. The tickets sold out in one day.
I can not tell you how much fun I had yesterday. It was not easy to orchestrate the actual going to a 2:30 game on a Thursday when your school age child gets out of school in the 2 o'clock hour and your the pool car driver. Then there are two other little ones at home that need to be watched over in order to actually go to the game. Thanks to the ladies that helped me!
I think it was the most exciting baseball game I have ever attended. I actually watched every pitch and just had a great time. Evan Longoria, ROCKS! 23 years of age, a fairy tale in the making. He wasn't even drafted to play baseball from high school and he is making baseball history.
I almost cried yesterday, really. Watching them come out of the field as the ALCS camps was so cool for them. You know you have been there at the top of your "game" you know the feeling and you can feel the excitement for them. I was teary eyed over BASEBALL! I got the post season fever. GO RAYS!
