My work has season tickets to the Royals and every so often, they'll raffle off the tickets at the last minute. I always put my name in the drawing, but I never win. Well yesterday I WON! And it just happened to be for a Tiger game. The seats are really great - 5 rows behind 3rd base (plus a parking pass). Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite as great. It rained during the first 3 innings, then was cold and windy for the rest of the game. The first 8 innings were pretty boring. Only the Royals had scored in the 7th. Then in the 9th, Cabrera hit the foul pole for a home run which tied it up (it looked questionable from our angle.) While I was excited that we were back in the game, it forced us to go into extra innings. 10th inning - no score. Top of the 11th - Guillen hits an RBI to put the Tigers up by 1. Now it's the Royals turn. They hit a homerun to tie it up. Half of the 50 people there went wild (the other half were Tiger fans). I's exaggerating. There were more than 50 people there, but not much. I told Bryan, though, that if they didn't score again, they'd have to play another inning and we're already cold, wet, and tired. Well, they did score again on a line drive to right field to end the game. Oh well, at least we were able to go home and warm up.
I did have a lot of fun, but it would have been much more enjoyable had the weather been better. I was heckled by Slugrrr (the lion mascot) a couple times for wearing a Tiger hat (over top a Royals stocking cap), but I didn't care. It was fun and the several Tiger fans that surrounded us didn't mind either.

Would you believe the game wasn't broadcast here until 10 PM? Then I fell asleep and missed any opportunity to see you. Were you on camera? I'm glad you had fun.
