Arizona Diamondbacks Season Finale

Last Saturday night, I (Gary) went with my mom to watch the last Arizona Diamondbacks game in which my dad was a Golden Glover (see July 7 post). One of the last promotions of the year the DBack's organization runs is "Shirt of Our DBacks" in which 43 people win the opportunity to go on the field after the final game of the season and get the actual game jersey of their selected player. I bought a couple of tickets that night and was lucky enough to be one of the 43. So last Sunday, Tiffany, my dad, Joshua and I headed back to the ball park to watch the final game. Joshua and I reported in the sixth inning to our designated location, got all of our paper work done and then waited for the drawing to find out our player. Joshua drew Yusmeiro Petit (#48) who was the fifth starting pitcher for most of the season for the Diamondbacks. Joshua was a little disappointed because he really wanted Eric Byrnes or Orlando Hudson but once he got on the field he was really excited and in awe.

Doug Davis was next to us and signed a baseball for Joshua also.
