My First Phillies Game





I went to many Phillies games while gestating in my mother's womb. I even met Jimmy Rollins and spent time rooting on the Red Sox from the third base line of Fenway Park. I remember hearing the cheers and smelling the beers, but I couldn't see squat. How lucky am I that my grandmother took me to my first game? I got to hang out with the Phanatic, watch mom and dad chow down on peanuts and beer, and sport my Ryan Howard t-shirt (thanks liz and rob). My raucous demeanor attracted the attention of the Phillies bullpen, which tossed me a ball that Brett Myers warmed up with (that's the security guard who kept me from jumping over the fence). I am adding the ball to my growing memorabilia collection.
