A Trip to Remember

Recently, Segev and I(Zevi) took a road trip with my dad to 4 different cities to see 5 baseball games. We had been planning a much larger trip, but when it came time to really plan it we had to cut it down to a reasonable trip. My dad told us that he would take us if we kept it under a week and somewhat close. So we headed out to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Detroit. It was a lot of fun, we saw some amazing games, met a lot of people, and of course in Detroit we saw the Orioles, and so we also saw Ronnie and Ruben. Ruben, who likes to joke around with us and hide from us behind some of the taller guys on the team, (Ruben is 5'9), so when he saw us in Detroit, he had to hide from us. Here is a summary of our trip:
Day 1:
Falling Water is amazing! Holy Shit! EVERY OTHER EXCLAMATORY THAT DENOTES AMAZINGNESS!!
Why is there so much damn traffic in Pitt?
FREE HAT!
Nationals and Pirates both suck horrifically!...

Steve Pearce's first career HR

(For me, I got 1 baseball that game from the Nationals bullpen coach, since i had a DC hat, and I had seen him before the game, and he said that if he had any left at the end of the game, he would give me one.)
