Remember when........

This sounded like a lot of fun!!

This should be fun hopefully everyone will play along, I am excited to see what memories everyone has of me......ENJOY

Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Pics of the boys up close and personal. This is the game on the 4th of July when we got to go out on the field for batting practice. We got some great pictures of the players. More to come.

Yadier Molina

Rick Ankiel and Jim Edmonds

These first three are pics of Albert Pujols.


This is Yadier Molina catching for the starting pitcher before the game. We were standing right above him watching, and everyone was yelling his name, " Yadi, Yadi, Molina, etc." Diego told Miguel to call out 'Boriqua' and said that any time you call a Puerto Rican 'Boriqua' they will know that you know where they come from. (Before Puerto Rico was Puerto Rico, is was called Boriquen (?)). So they stopped for the National Anthem and Yadi went under the overhang. When the National Anthem was over, he came back out and got into position to start catching again. Right then Miguel yelled out "Boriqua", and Yadier immediately looked straight up at us and had a huge grin on his face, you could see it through his facemask. But unfortunately, Diego didn't have the camera ready to snap the picture. It was pretty cool.

The public is allowed into the stadium two hours before the game. Almost everyone goes right down to the rail and waits for the players to come sign autographs after batting practice. No one came the two times we were there, but we got some awesome close up pictures.

I put descriptions in, but they didn't come through. They are pretty self explanatory. :)
