the rocket returns

david and i somehow lucked up as ticket holders for the lexington legend's game with roger clemens and his son koby. we purchased a couple of four dollar tickets online seconds before the legend's website crashed, and held on tight. what a fun night! we showed up an hour and a half early because we had lawn tickets, and the lawns were actually pretty full when we arrived. we managed to squeeze our way in behind a free-standing hotdog grill along first base line and had an awesome view. we were right there as roger warmed up (the pic to the left) and were among all the crazied fans looming for autographs. roger pitched the first three innings recording six strike outs, a couple of hits, and a homerun. the kid that hit the homerun was probably dookin' in his pants. as the ball sailed down the first base line, it hit a sign above a deck where people can stand (it's called the pepsi party deck). the ball hit the "e" in "deck" and it shattered the upper part of the "e" making it a natural moment i am sure for the hitter...although i am not sure he was looking (i think he was preoccupied with the mess in his drawers). there were so many people there...it was insane. record numbers for a legend's game for obvious reasons. after the game and lots of fun (i love being a part of a big crowd), david thanked me for being a cheap date...total spent that evening for parking, dinner, and tickets was a grand total of $19.50. not too stinkin' shabby!

me gracefully stuffing my face with 25 cent hotdogs. yes, 25 cent hotdogs! sad thing is...i still could only eat two...so much for getting our money's worth. this one kid beside me had a whole sack full of dogs and was grazing on them throughout the game....atta boy.

here's a pic of roger on the mound and koby playing third.
