While I feel there will be a post about Carter's first Turner Field trip, which was very successful all things considered, I must first post about my own triumph. Not ONLY was it Tim Hudson bobble-head night (I need to replace the Mark Texiera bobble-head in my office that is under constant ridicule since he was traded), I nabbed my first foul ball at a major league ball park (spring training not withstanding)! It was the first time I have ever even been close to a foul ball, and we were in the upper deck! Thanks to Dan Uggla of the Florida Marlins for sending it my way (one pitch before he hit a shot deep, deep, deep in the outfield stands-you could call it homerun, but really it was quite a bit farther than most), and thanks to dad for the great luck! All my ball retrieval success seems to be with dad (and without Park, strangely), so much thanks for that!More knick-knacks for display!!! I love 'em!

For sure, getting both a bobblehead and a foul ball makes up for the lousy game that the Braves played. Park will get a bobblehead from the extras obtained, but alas no extra foul ball. He was invited, but is home with the flu. Catching a foul ball in his absence will not make him feel better. It was great to have Eli and (two hotdogs) Carter for pregame fun and 3 innings of baseball.
Wait. What about the foul ball you caught in Shea Stadium hit by Jeff Francoeur and tossed to you by Moises Alou? Of course that happened only because your good luck father was present at that game as well..........!
Umm... I'm pretty sure Moises threw that ball at me. :)
Upon further reflection, I do believe you are right. I had forgotten that you and Moises go way back.
That last should read, "Cart Cart said..." to avoid obvious confusion.
no comment... *cough*
