Road Trip to Tucson
Had a great time with my boy taking a quick road trip to Tucson to catch a ball game. I got him out of school early and headed down to watch the Round Rock Express vs Tucson Padres. We stopped at McDonald's in Eloy for a quick bite then headed to the ballpark. We got there a little early and the gates didn't open for another hour so I asked if it would be cool if they would let us in to watch batting practice. While watching BP Sammy had fun running around and taking pictures of the ball players and everything else. We had great seats, two rows behind the dugout on the 1st base side. As we were getting autographs before the game Sammy was picked out of the crowd to throw out the 1st pitch before the game! He was so excited! The funny thing is we were not there to see the Padres, we took the trip to watch the Express, the Rangers AAA team. A guy we were talking to yelled out "pick this kid they drove all the way from Surprise!" They told us they were looking for Padres fans but if we would buy a Padres t-shirt they would let Sammy do it! Of course we bought a t-shirt, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Sammy did great and he was very excited to be out on the mound.
After the 1st pitch we went to our seats and watched a little bit of the game, then it was time for hotdogs. It was $1 hotdog night so we pigged out. We had a baseball card of Michael Kirkman and he happened to be sitting in the stands so Sammy was excited to meet him and get his autograph. In the middle of the 5th inning Sammy jumped on top of the dugout and started dancing to the YMCA and was shaking his butt like crazy and the crowd went wild! That's my boy! For the rest of the game we sat out in the grass and Sammy had fun rolling in the grass and playing with the rest of the kids.
The game ended up going into extra innings and the Express won! We had a great time and cannot wait to do it again!

Pictures from our Tucson Trip
Sammy had a great time having his picture taken with a few players! We met Neil Ramirez who started the season in A Ball and is off to a strong start in AAA. Alex Cintron of the Padres used to play for the DBacks. Sammy loves mascots and had to stop and say hello to Kino the Bambino! The surprise of the night was seeing Trevor Hoffman. He was great with Sammy taking a pic and autographing our ticket stubs!!!
