Baseball Tonight

There’s baseball tonight.

For us, it won’t be in Chicago’s Wrigley Field, where I saw my first Major League game, but here in Seattle, where the Mariners will host the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox.

Big Papi (above) is coming to town, though there is some question as to whether or not his sore back will allow him to be in the lineup.

Kay Lynne’s brother Rick and sister-in-law Danielle arrive today from Chicago, and tonight our son Doug and his wife Jamie will join us for the match-up at beautiful Safeco Field.

From a personal perspective I can’t think of a better way to “catch up” with relatives than to do so at a ball game. Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and (your favorite car)….. what could be better on a hot summer night?

Only cloud on the horizon is that Curt Schilling is not starting this evening. But Jamie Moyer is.
