While we have been to some minor league games this year, Computer Boy and Skate Kid will make their "season debuts" at Comerica Park this week when the Tigers play the Rangers. Computer Boy is going Tuesday and Skate Kid is going Thursday. I will be acting as the honorary chauffeur, host and hot dog and souvenir provider for both games.
Computer Boy will be bringing a Josh Hamilton baseball card and a sharpie as Josh is his favorite player. He knows an autograph is a longshot but it does not hurt to be prepared. If no luck, Skate Kid will bring the card and the sharpie Thursday for his game. Skate Kid is 7 years old and does not know one player from another (though he likes Tiger players) but he would be thrilled to get an autograph from any player so he will make the attempt if Computer Boy strikes out Tuesday. We chose these games with Texas as part of our partial season ticket package specifically so Computer Boy could see Hamilton so he is psyched. Skate Kid just likes being at the park.
Computer Boy is not camera friendly and I do not particularly like to lug a camera around so I do not know if I will bring one. I do know that if I bring one, it will be a minor inconvenience to carry around but if I do not bring one, Josh Hamilton will sign his card and I will not get a photo of that for posterity. For what it is worth, the only time I brought a camera to a game was at a 2006 Tigers/Yankees playoff game and I got a picture of Rudolph Guliani waiving to Computer Boy as he was leaving the field. I guess this means that I should bring a camera.*
Dontrelle Willis pitches Tuesday. Our seats are in Section 126 which is one of the two sections behind home plate and we have been in these seats for 3 years and we love them. Now with Dontrelle pitching (old lame joke coming), I am going to have to walk up about 25 rows to the netting behind home plate before the game to make sure that it is secure so no errant throws can reach the crowd to cause any injury. Can't be too careful, ya know!
*Computer Boy has just advised me that it would be "dumb" to bring a camera. I don't want to be "dumb" so I don't know about the camera.
