The Murph

Today I was able to pick up what was a tradition for my friend Rob M and I going back to the Metrodome days.  On a Friday during Lent, I would swing by McDonald’s on my way to spending lunch at the ballpark with Rob and pick up fish sandwiches.  We would go to a suite and hang out and chat about our families and baseball.  Because I was so busy the last few years at work, I made it a point to make it happen this year and today was the day.
It was neat to spend time at the ballpark and especially with Rob.  Looking out of the suite at the field, I could see the outfield grass getting mowed.  How cool is that?
After lunch, I was able to check out the new Bat & Barrel area (formerly Metropolitan Club) and the realignment of the area by Gate 29 where they removed a few rows of seats and made the concourse wider.  It really looked great!
On my way out, Rob gave me a bag with a couple Twins swag items.  Inside was a baseball signed by John Ryan Murphy.  I did not have one signed by him so this was a great addition to the collection.
Thanks for the goodies but more important the time hanging out Rob!
