Katie Beth is such a fan of Lorenzo Cain (Lo Cain) of the Brewers and a former Huntsville Stars player. Steve and Allison Tofflemire surprised Katie Beth tonight with her very own Lo Cain shirt. This is a one of kind shirt that Allison and Steve had made. Lo Cain is the nickname that the players called Lorenzo Cain in Huntsville. The Huntsville fans started calling him this and it stuck, but the major league fans don’t really know him by this nickname.
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.
Well, the Huntsville Stars’ season only has 4 days of games left starting tonight. We have enjoyed going to the games. But, they have worn us out a little since Katie Beth doesn’t like to sit and watch the game for long. She did have fun.
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.
Karen had a great time celebrating her ½ birthday today at the Huntsville Stars’ baseball game. She didn’t know that myself and others had put together a list of wonderful surprises. Matthew arranged for Karen to be the fan of the day so Karen and Katie Beth could ride into the game with Homer, the team mascot.
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.
Early today, we were at Sherwood Park Pool and the lifeguards sang Happy Birthday to Katie Beth and gave us popsicles.
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!
