The Den is having a blast. The beers going for $2 isn’t hurting either.

We could be getting free ball tonight with the score bring zero-zero in the top of the seventh.

He gave Katie Beth a baseball at the start of the game.

And then, Andy Machado gave Katie Beth a bat. What a guy!

We have a Andy Machado baseball card so now we have to get Andy to sign all of them for us.

Beside getting see all of our baseball friends, Katie Beth got to visit with Chuckie between games. She had Chuckie sign one of her baseballs. Chuckie lend over and gave Katie Beth a big hug. Chuckie asked where she had been for so long, because he had missed hearing her in the crowd. (Katie Beth loves to shouting “Go Chuckie” when Chuckie comes up to bat.) Chuckie asked Katie Beth when she is going to throw out another first pitch.

What a fun trip to make cross the county!

The weather is a little too humid, but we are having fun.

We had a bi-plane buzz the field for awhile during the game.

The Den is getting crazy here tonight. We could be doing an all nighter.

Free movie tickets to Pirates of the Caribbean were given out tonight. Hoot!

Katie Beth is having a great time.

It is great to see the whole baseball gang. (Scott, the food is great.)

Tonight, we all gathered to watch the second game of the world series and Allison and Steve couldn’t resist the opportunity to give Katie Beth this wonderful gift. Karen and I didn’t even know about the gift.

Even before going over to their home, Katie Beth was assuming that we would be seeing Lo Cain playing baseball so she started chanting, “Go Lo Cain!”

Thanks, Allison and Steve.

You should be here.

Katie Beth’s favorite player, Lorenzo Cain, got promoted all the way into the majors and is now playing for the Brewers. If you were ever at a Huntsville Stars game prior to him getting promoted would have surely heard Katie Beth shouting “Go Lo Cain!” It alway put a smile on his face.

The Huntsville Stars will be playing tonight starting at 7PM. Saturday’s game is a double header starting at 4PM. Sunday and Monday’s games start at 1PM. Come out and cheer on the Huntsville Stars as this could be your last chance.

The stadium looks very nice.

Charlie went on to throw out the first pitch and run in the Dick’s Sporting Goods race (and win, again).

Charlie ended up getting a foul ball and won the Dick’s Sporting Goods race.

Katie Beth is really enjoying Hannah and Charlie being in town.

Many of Karen’s friend were hiding out in a skybox. Karen only had to look up to see them all pressed against the glass watching.

After riding into the game with Homer, we keep Karen on the field and then she learned that she was throwing out the first pitch of the game.

We then went up to the skybox to take Allison Tofflemire’s drink up to Steve Tofflemire. Allison told Karen that Steve and her parents were up there because it was so hot. It was over 90° degrees.

When we arrived at the skybox, everyone was already there waiting. Karen was surprised at seeing so many faces greet her. Janice Houston and Steve Tanner with their daughter Clair, Ann And Jay Kissell, Jeff Thornburg, my parents, Allison and Steve Tofflemire, Larry and Margaret Bennett, Larry Veeder, Meg Leach, Elizabeth and Bob Riggle were there. More dropped in throughout the evening.

We all had a great time and the food from Scott Tolmach of Sodexo was just wonderful.

Katie Beth is having a blast with pizza dough. Allison made rings, bracelets, snakes, and more. We had a pizzeria here tonight throwing dough while working the dough.

Grandmother and granddaddy came tonight and they having a great time.

Allison and Steve Tofflemire have put on a great party.

Later at the Huntsville Stars game, Homer and the gang gave Katie Beth a set of play bugs. She loves them. Katie Beth threw out the first pitch and rode onto field with Homer and Matt. She threw her first pitch to Huntsville Stars player Chuckie #4.

Tomorrow, we keep it going with a pool party!

Tomorrow night on Katie Beth’s birthday, Katie Beth gets to throw out the first pitch. She even will ride into the game with Homer the team mascot.

It was her naptime, but she still wanted to go to the game. We loaded her up and she fell asleep on the way to the game. After sleeping through two innings or so, she got up and started going 100% as expected.

We have enjoyed the Huntsville Stars season. Katie Beth just loves going to the games.
