July 4th Baseball
We continued our tradition of catching all three Astros games in San Francisco. Sissy Warbucks used her fancy connections to get us a luxury box for the 4th of July game. Highlights included patriotic popcorn and a rare Roland Segovia sighting. We sat in the front row behind the dugout for the Sunday game where we endeared ourselves to the squad by supporting their efforts even though they lost the first two games by a combined score of 22–0. The 'Stros saved the weekend by winning 9–0 on Sunday and throwing us five baseballs. My personal highlight was when pitching coach Dewey Robinson tossed me a ball simply because I was dressed like a fool. |
