last night was the first time since ethan was a baby that we all four went to the spfd cardinals game...it was a nice night...between my brother in law, my dad & i...we have caught 8 foul balls in 3 years...this number is staggering...you have to understand...some season ticket holders can go 10 years and not catch 1...anyway...i dont know if there is a ball magnet under our seats or what, but this consistency has led jake to believe that it is easy to get a foul ball...which couldnt be further from the truth...
so before the game last night jake says that he wants to get a foul ball...so instead of explaining the difficulty, not to mention the odds i just told him we would try to catch one...
so in the 2nd inning...we catch a foul ball...so, about 4 of the 20 games that jake has been to we have caught a foul ball...diamonds are not diamonds to people that can afford to have many of them if you know what i mean...anyway...
so i have found about 10 little frogs dead in the pool filter...they hop in the pool and cannot get out...so they eventually get exhausted and drown...then float to the bottom and get sucked thru the filter...anyway...i saw one hop in this morning...so i did what any good human would do...i watched him die, float to the bottom and get sucked thru the filter...just kidding...i watched him swim around for a while...then lifted him out...i saved the frog...what is cool about this, is that jake thinks i am a hero...man i love little kids...easy to manipulate...easy to influence...then they grow up and realize that lifting a frog out of a pool is no big deal...
later from 3rd St.
