At The Trop.


One of my favorite childhood memories is going to the ballpark with my Dad. I remember going to Candlestick Park in San Francisco to see the Giants; to Busch Park in St.Louis to see the Cardinals; and for the last 10 years or so, going to Tropicana Field to see the Tampa Bay Rays play. Since Pop Pops birthday is in June, I usually buy us tickets to see a home game.
On this night the tickets were compliments of Joe, my brother-in-law. He was out of town. The New York Yankees were in town. This was the second of a three game series.The Yankees beat us the night before. But I am happy to report that the Rays came back and beat 'em 6 to2! It was a very exciting game and PopPop and I loved every minute. We even got out of the parking lot without any hassels!
