I finally got my shirt  

Ever since I saw Josh Hamilton hit all those home runs in Major League Baseball's AllStar HomeRun Derby last year, I have wanted a shirt with his name and number on it. One of the things that I always did with my dad when he was alive was go to Texas Rangers Games, and discuss the games that we didn't get to see. Dad would often call me and say. Did you see that hit, or that run, or that catch. Many times it wasn't on in our area, and he would call and give me the play by play so I wouldn't have to wait for the newspaper the next day, and hope it would be in there.

Well, last week...My sweet husband surprised me with tickets to the Rangers home game against the Seattle Mariners. Along with the tickets, was my coveted t-shirt.
When we got to the game, he surprised me even more with a trip to the clearance kiosk within the ballpark, where he bought me 3 more shirts! A 2009 All-Star shirt with all of those Rangers who were nominated for the All-Star team, as well as shirts with names and jersey numbers of two more of my favorite Texas Rangers! Our best catcher: Gerald "Salty" Saltallachia and one of the pitchers: Brandon McCarthy. I love to watch Brandon pitch because his style is very similiar to my son's, and it's kind of like watching him on the mound again!
