When we were really little, we lived in Michigan and would color and eat Domino's pizza in the stands. My heart will always be in the Metrodome with the Minnesota Twins though. My Dad lived in Fargo, ND for 13 years and we would drive to Minneapolis for the weekend and go to a game and a museum or whatever. I'm not really into sports as a general rule, and don't have many favorite athletes, and I can say that Kirby Puckett is one of the only athletes I've ever been able to get excited about. At one game, I saw him hit an inside the park home run, and watching him run the bases was the best thing I've ever seen at a live sporting event. It was like a freight train. I tried looking for any kind of video today, but instead found myself tearing up over a tribute video on YouTube. I was very sad when he died, and I can't imagine any other sports figure I'd actually cry over. It is amazing that you got to share this with your son, what an amazing and awesome experience! When he grows up, he will always remember his times at the Mariners games with you and they'll be special to him too.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318376427752604367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-22295073258729922162012-08-23T10:29:57.461-07:002012-08-23T10:29:57.461-07:00Absolutely amazing!

I really wanted to take Ciaran (my 5 year old) to the game, and the time was perfect. Hernandez is his favorite player too. My oldest came in from college, his flight arrived right in the middle of the game. I would have to miss it. Ciaran loves watching Hernandez pitch, and I was hoping he would be back in the rotation for this upcoming weekend. Wow. I'm glad for you.danielhttp://www.postpostmoderndad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195142635395855095.post-85890078335178332262012-08-16T13:37:26.112-07:002012-08-16T13:37:26.112-07:00we've gone to baseball as well as Hockey games...we've gone to baseball as well as Hockey games with ours and so far she loves the Hockey game.
