This was supposed to be a family trip to Comerica Park to
watch the Detroit Tigers take on the Cleveland Indians, but when we learned that
Samantha was to play in a soccer tournament at the same time as the baseball
game, our plans had to change a little bit. Tara still took Tyler, Drew, and
Jayden, while Jerry & Gail took the seats intended for Sam and I. The kids went
on to the field for a pre-game clinic with some of the coaches and players
before the game got underway. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy here, just
like it was for Sam and I at the soccer fields - not to mention that the Tigers
lost the game despite an attempted rally late. The kids had fun, but were
grating on Tara's last nerve by the end of the night, and they wound up leaving
an inning early. Hopefully next year when we get tickets we won't have a
conflict and we can enjoy the game as a family!

The Detroit Tigers team took photos (that you could purchase, of
course). Here is Jayden and Tara posing for a picture.
