Take me out to the ball game.

The Tigers won! I can’t believe I went to a Tiger’s game and they won! Usually when I go, actually for as long as I can remember, every Tigers (baseball) game I’ve been to, they have lost. Oh, some games they are ahead and magically lose at the end.

Today they started out behind, got ahead by 3 points, then managed to get tied, but amazingly the catcher with a horrible batting record hit a homerun to take a 6-5 lead which is how the game ended.

I still have yet to catch a foul ball. I don’t know how many games I’ve been too (I’d guess about 10-20). I’ve had (in my poor memory) only 1 chance and the ball hit below my reach (of course I didn’t have my glove with me that time). If someone knows of a study of where the highest percentage of foul balls are hit (in Comerica Park), let me know so I can buy seats specifically in that section to catch me a foul ball. Better than that would be to catch a homerun, but knowing the Tigers that doesn’t seem very likely (though they did have 2 or 3 today).

If there are any good pictures I assume my wife will post them.
