Another Owlz Game

My husband's friend had given us tickets for Saturday's game awhile back. Last time we went the boys couldn't get any autographs from the players. My husband found out from calling, you can go to batting practice at 5:30 and the kids can take any of the balls hit over the fence.

We also discovered the players will give your kids autographs before the game and be very polite.

My Tyler is usually very shy and will not talk to anyone. My oldest Don will talk to anyone. Not this night. The roles were very reversed. Tyler was going to get the players autographs. He likes one of the players named Tyler Mann, since they have the same name. He waited all night to get his autograph.

Ty about falling in the dugout
He was one of the last players to come out and Tyler was hanging out over the dugout watching for him. When he came out he started yelling "Tyler Mann," several times. One of the other players had taken Tyler's ball for him and sat it in the dugout for Mann to sign. He couldn't find it so he went out on the field to find the player and ask where his ball was. He asked Tyler if he wanted to have the other players in the dugout sign the ball too. He was very cute with our son. I loved how sweet the players were to our kids.

They made a definite fan out of me and my kids.

How fun. Isn't it funny how your opinion of someone can totally cjange by the way they treat your kids!

It makes such a difference when the people you look up to are actually nice. I am glad they got some autographed balls. I bet that made their day.
