Yay Casey Fien!

So seven year old Skate Kid and I went to Comerica Park yesterday to watch the Tigers play the Blue Jays and we were lucky enough to see the Tigers win. A day at the park is always a good time, win or lose but we will take the win.

Anyway, during batting practice, Skate Kid who of course brought his mitt positioned himself in the first row behind the fence in right field hoping to catch a ball. Skate Kid likes to stand alone and I usually sit 5 or 6 rows behind keeping a watchful eye on him.

A few balls came his way but he ended up getting muscled out in the fray by some bigger kids in the area. If you are wondering, no I did not insert myself into that as nobody really did anything wrong. That is just how it works.

Anyway, Tiger reliever, Casey Fien was shagging balls in right field and I noticed that he seemed to be keeping an eye on where the hit balls went into the stands and who got what. Well Fien caught a slow roller and then I noticed that he purposefully turned and walked a bit towards Skate Kid and tossed the ball to him.

Yay Casey Fien! You are now Skate Kid's second favorite player.*

*It would be hard to push Magglio Ordonez out of the number one spot but second is still pretty good, you know.
