The 2009 Season- Recap of what has happened

So this blog is going to be about three guys(Avi, Segev, and Zevi) who go to the Baltimore Orioles games pretty much whenever they are home, and sit out by the bullpens, and no joke, talk to the pitchers and everyone else in the bullpen. We have become pretty good friends with both of the bullpen catchers, Ronnie Deck and Ruben Felix. Because they do not truly have their own fans, we have become their fan club, and every game we go out to see them, and when they come out into the bullpen, they make the effort to talk to us before and/or after each game. This all started one game, vs the Mets, when we wanted to cheer for someone in the 'pen, and so a friend looked up what the catchers name was, and we came up with Ronnie Deck. We cheered for him, and on his way back, he gave us a wave. Thinking that was pretty cool, the three of us went the next day and cheered for him again. After that game, there was a road trip, so we decided that the first day they come back, we would go out and cheer for him to see if he would say hi to us. Much to our surprise, Ruben Felix, the other catcher, came out pregame and told us that some of the guys from the bullpen had been getting on Ronnie's case about his new fans, and how he now had people that knew him. He gave us tips and pointers for cheering for them, and from then on we have been cheering for both of them. Over time, the bullpen coach, Alan Dunn has come to know us and talk to us. Also, pitchers Danys Baez, Kam Mickolio, and Cla Meredith, and pitching coach Rick Kranitz have all come to know us and talk to us. This blog will be about us at the games, what goes on, some of the stories from the bullpens, and also our collection of baseballs that we sometimes get at the games. Keep reading, and Go O's!
