Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Come see me catch the first pitch on July 1st.



As I eluded to in a game thread last week, me and my family will be responsible for throwing out the first pitch for the Wednesday July 1st Reds game. My brother in law won a drawing and was going to have his son throw out the first pitch, but as luck would have it, his ex-wife is taking their children to Florida and leaving that day (to be fair the flights were purchased before the winning.) So Jereme offered them up to me to have Trey throw out the pitch to me. Unfortunately I fear that Trey's throw would be more errant than Malory's so Jereme will visit the mound with my wife and son to toss it to me.

Our seats are somewhere in the middle of the lower first base section, so that is where we will be.. If anyone would like to come on out to that game and hang out, let me know so I can be looking for you. If someone wants to photograph or video it, I would be most greatful. July is going to be an awesome month! First pitch, 9 days of vacation, hot pass at the Kentucky Truck Race. I'm pretty excited!

I think this will give you a chance to try out for the Red's

they need a fourth catcher and you know how to play the game the right way.

Upon reading your post again

I realized that you have way too happy of a life. While everyone else here is all glooming and dooming about everything from Dusty to the fact that Mary Tyler Moore refuses to die..you have the nerve to be all positive. Are you now or have you ever been a pretend RR ?

just jealous…getting to catch the 1st ball and all..just sayin’….

Hey BK is out of work....

I know some the people that own the Freedom…i could talk to them if you want BK…
(not to take the honorary gig from Trey)
also I guess it will fall on me to arrange an RR outing to a Freedom game..first who is intersted?
If enough interest is shown I’ll create a FanPost to promo it.

Numba Free right cheer

aw, thanks for the mention

I’m nowhere near Florence, unfortunately, and I’m about to go to Les Provinces Maritimes and New York for July, so I’m about to get a whole lot farther.

I will go ahead and begin to look at dates of upcoming games

Plus I will organize any Florence Freedom RR get together completely around Ash’s schedule. If we can get enough folks (I’ll find out how many) I think I can get us the VIP tickets cheap – includes FOOD and cheap beers. More to come.
