Today Cami and I went to the Twins game. \u00a0She likes to go on Sunday games because they have a kids only autograph session before the game and she has a baseball she gets everyone’s autograph on. \u00a0We got to the ballpark a little later than normal today because she stayed over at a friend’s house and when we got to the line, it was REALLY long. \u00a0I asked Cami what she wanted to do and she said to skip it. \u00a0I told her we could walk down to the right field foul area and see if anyone shows up there and she was all for it. \u00a0I gave her a pen and her baseball and told her where to stand and watched from about ten rows back. \u00a0Casey Fien was going down the line signing so she was really excited about that. \u00a0He signed her baseball and she came running up to me all excited. \u00a0That was cool. \u00a0I noticed another Twin signing who was working his way down so I told Cami to go down there. \u00a0I could not see who it was but a young girl came running up near me with an autograph and I asked her if that was Scott Diamond and it was. \u00a0Cami already had Diamond on her baseball so I told her to come to me. \u00a0She asked why and I told her it was Scott Diamond and he was already on her baseball. \u00a0She said she wanted to thank him for signing her postcard that she mailed to him and he was kind enough to return signed a week or so ago. \u00a0I told her that would be awesome and to go down and wait. \u00a0When he got to Cami she thanked him for it and he said he was happy she got it. \u00a0I thought that was pretty cool and classy of Scott. \u00a0I realized I had a 2013 Topps Heritage card of him but no marker (Caden used my backpack for a Boy Scout camping trip this weekend and I took all my stuff out so he could use it). \u00a0I waited a little bit for him to get to me and a young kid standing next to me was kind enough to let me use his Sharpie. \u00a0I told Scott that this one was for dad and that Cami smiled from ear to ear the night she got the postcard. \u00a0He smiled.<\/p>\n
We headed up to our seats and the first Twin batter, Brian Dozier, hit a foul ball right to me. \u00a0It went off my bare hand with a loud slap noise and rolled behind us. \u00a0I reached back and got it! \u00a0This was my very first foul ball I “earned”! \u00a0It only took me about 450 or so games!<\/p>\n
Cami and I had a GREAT time at the ballpark enjoying great weather (for once) and a great Twins win! \u00a0Oh, and thanks to the kid who borrowed me his Sharpie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
