What a week...
From Sunday May 4th - Sunday May 11th, the wife and I got some major baseball watching in...
We saw 7 games (in 8 days), with 6 different teams, in 3 different stadiums in 3 different leagues...
Mets @ Rox
Rangers @ Rox
Rangers @ Rox
Rox @ Rangers
Rox @ Rangers
BoSox @ Rangers
Hooks @ Roughriders
We saw one player's MLB Debut and 1st MLB hit (Roughned Odor - Tex), almost saw a Perfect Game (6.2 innings before PG lost) that almost became a No Hitter (8.2 innings before 1st hit) for Yu Darvish against Red Sox and we saw a Team Record (27 Game Hitting Streak) Tied (Nolan Arenado - Rockies) and then broken (28 Games) the next night, and finished with a game in a Stadium I had never visited - Frisco Roughriders (Rangers AA Team).
In that span, Michael Choice (Rangers) gave me a pair of batting gloves, Leonys Martin (Rangers) threw me a ball (both of those happened at Coors Field), then in Arlington, Tommy Runnels (Rox Bench Coach) threw me a ball, two days later, Johnny Herrera (Red Sox - former Rockie) threw me a ball and at Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, TX, Patrick Cantwell (C - Roughriders) gave me a Texas League Ball.
Along with all of that, I was interviewed by Jim Knox of Fox Sports Southwest - TWICE - once in Coors Field and once in Arlington - because of my all-time Rangers AU jersey (6 year project to date) that has about 75-100 Rangers autos on it currently.
But the best part was being able to obtain a GU HIT Baseball from Arenado's team record tying game (Arenado's single - 1st hit that tied record was taken by the Rockies) as well as a GU PITCHED Baseball (last strike - swinging - from Arenado's last at bat) from record breaking game (he only had one hit - the Rox took that ball). Both were obtained from Fanatics - who now run the Rangers GU stuff. Thanks so much to these guys for making sure that I got what I was looking for... a much better group than the joker who was doing the Rangers GU stuff 2 years ago...
What a great week...
