Go Tigers!

On Friday night, Steve and I got the opportunity to go to a Detroit Tigers game.  We are big fans -- we rarely miss an opportunity to watch a game on TV -- and were thrilled at the option to be able to go to a game in person.  The weather was questionable, but we were determined to go anyway.

We had perfect seats (just to the left of home plate, about 30 rows up) and were happy that the rain held off for the whole game.  There was a little misting, but nothing worth leaving our seats for.  I do wish that it was a little warmer though; it was only about 50 degrees.  And of course, it would have been nice if the Tigers had won, but they were playing the Yankees and I had already prepared myself for a loss ...

Posing with the mascot, Paws.  He was dressed in his Polish gear, as it was Polish-American night at the game.  As you can see, I was dressed with a hooded sweatshirt and my winter coat to make sure that I stayed warm (which I did).

After the game, Steve posed in front of the new, very large, scoreboard.  It is pretty impressive.



Even though we were a little chilly, we stayed to watch the fireworks right afer the game.  They were spectacular!





It was nice to be able to do this, but I did miss the girls a little bit.  My mom was gracious enough to watch them for us, and I know that they had a pretty good time themselves getting spoiled by Grammy.  We hope to be able to take Sam to a Lansing Lugnuts game this summer; she seems to really want to see a baseball game in person now.  The Lansing Lugnuts are a Single A team that play about 30 minutes from our house.  We figure that it would be a good start for her -- there won't be quite as many people there, and we'll get a better idea just how long she will stay entertained.
