Recap of Tuesdays game

Sorry for the delay, but here we go. We all went to the game last Tuesday, vs the New York Yankees. It was T-shirt Tuesday which means that there is going to be a much larger crowd than normal. Luckily Avi was already there and he was in the middle of the line so we could get in in the first few minutes. It was a lot of fun, and when we went out to the bleachers, no one was really there. There were a lot of little Yankee fans, which meant that being out there for New York BP would be horrible. Luckily, it was still the Orioles turn, so we spread out and tried to get baseballs. Towards the end of the Orioles BP, Chris Ray threw Avi the ball he had grabbed, which was the first ball any of us had gotten. During that time, Segev was trying different parts of the outfield, all with no luck. I was over in the corner by Danys Baez that I like, because whenever he gets a baseball he makes sure that I have a ball, and if I don't, then he throws it to me. On this day however, none came to him. He was standing with Alberto Castillo, who was getting all the balls near them. Alberto threw one ball into the stands, about 15 feet over my head, to a crowd of people. I then asked Danys if he could grab me a baseball, to which he said, " You catch homer" I told him I would try but not to many were coming out to us. After a while, he said that if one came to him, he would make sure to give it to me. I asked him if he could grab one and then give it to me in the bullpen, but he told me "it is illegal" Ok Danys. Oh well, not to bad and it could be worse. At that point, BP ended and the Yankees came out. I moved over to the Left Field line, no people around and if any ball hooked foul or bounced into the stands, there was no way I was going to miss it. There is one issue though. No one hit it down the line. One ball was thrown into the crowd, about a section over, and that is the closest I came to a ball during BP. None of us got anymore baseballs, so Segev and I moved over to the dugout to see who would sign for us. Closer to game time we had a good talk with Rick Kranitz about the pitching staff (Bergesen will not be coming back this year). After he left to go out to the bullpens, Ruben came out, and even with our shouting, he didn't want to come over. Finally he decided to come over to say hi, and he said he wouldn't be able to sign and he would make the kids upset. We were joking around with him, talking, and then people came up and made him sign autographs. He signed happily, and then a NYY fan gave him a t-shirt that had been given out that night, and no kidding, he signed it across pretty much the entire front over the Orioles wordmark. It was huge and the funniest thing he could have done. No one else signed, we went out to the bullpen, and enjoyed the game. For the first few innings we did sit with the principal, her brothers, and the dean of our school over by the Yankees dugout. A lot of fun, and we later moved into the corner for an out, all the way at the top, last seats in the ballpark. The O's lost, and after the game we talked to Ronnie for a while, and he decided that he would be our hitting coach if we could find a time to get together with him. That is very cool and we are very excited for that to happen. After the game, we talked to Joe, who was stuck outside, and that was that. A good night at the ballpark, right before school, and it'll be good to get back on the weekend. The Rangers come in for the weekend, Avi will be there Friday, the rest of us Saturday and Sunday. Go O's!
