Patrick took him to 3 games this season and by the third Charlie wouldn't leave his seat to do anything because he was so fixated on the game. Everyday he would tell me he was going to hit baseballs, then crawl out the doggy door and hit baseballs off his little tee set for about 20 minutes before coming back in and to tell me about all of the home-runs he just made. Every night he asked to read his "baseball book" (aka. the Rangers program from a game) through which he literally memorized every Rangers player. (Mom, there's Wash, Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz, etc.) By the last World Series game he was saying "Mom, there's Matt Harrison." He even said "Mom, Albert Puljols is scary. But, I like David Freese." What? Now we know the Cardinals players?? Too much.
Patrick and I also got to enjoy some games. We went to the ACLS Game 1 and stayed through the 2 rain delays to see the Rangers win against the Detroit Tigers.
And we got to go to the World Series Game 4. Such a great game to see in which the Rangers won after their blowout loss in Game 3. And, an awesome experience to see Derek Holland pitch such an outstanding game.
Even though the Rangers ended up losing the World Series (which was sort of like having a death in the family to Patrick), we had a great time watching their success this season. Until next year!
so fun! It amazes me how kids can keep track of all that stuff - it's beyond me. :)
