Covering the Bases

We all piled in the car after work today and made for Hadlock Field home of the Portland Sea Dogs. The Sea Dogs are a AA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo was in town for a free concert in Monument Square followed by signing CDs at the field. He also threw in the first pitch. For Tandy and me this was a big deal since we are both fans of Bronson Arroyo. Tandy and the girls went to the mid-day concert where my youngest danced up a storm and the older glowered. His new CD, "Covering the Bases," is really not half bad.

As we sat at the field waiting for the game to start and announcement rang out, "Members of the Frozen Ropes Kids Club report to the field for kickball." The different mascots and characters played kickball while seventy-five kids handled the infield. It was a hilarious madhouse of energy on the field. Afterward, we had ballfield dinner and watched about two innings. The girls had enough and we made for home.
