Category: Tickets

Today I went to the Iowa Cubs game with the kids and Caden’s baseball team.  We were all in Des Moines for a baseball tournament and it worked out that the Cubs were in town so we got forty tickets and everyone went.  It was a blast.  Cami, Caden’s friend Cayden, and I got to the ballpark just as the gates opened.  It had rained up to that point so the tarp was on the field and the players were not out taking batting practice.  The three of us waited where the players take the field and most walked past us.  Cayden and Cami saw that Corey Seager (the number five prospect in baseball) was going to the Dodgers’ dugout and decided to head there.  I had a ML debut ticket of Javier Baez that I was hoping to get signed so I waited halfway down the third base line watching him warm up.  Once he was done, we went to a couple kids and signed for them and posed for a photo and then signed my ticket.  I was really excited.  On the other side of the field Cayden and Cami were able to get Corey Seager.  They also got another player after the game.  Cami conned me into buying her a game used signed bat but Chris Valaika.
We all had a blast and the kids got on the scoreboard video screen twice!  Unfortunately for the Cottage Grove Wolfpack, they only won one game and lost three on the weekend.  It was fun though!
