400 Posts ... and back to "The Cell"



I just noticed that my last post (about Miles' M hat) was the 400th post of our Blog. Wow. Hard for me to believe.

In that post there's a picture of Miles at the new Comiskey Park, right after the new ballpark was built. Notice the seats are blue. About a year after they built the stadium, someone decided the blue seats were ugly, and they were all torn out and dark colored seats were installed instead. Visionary planning, for sure.

Miles and I were back at "The Cell" (named after U.S. Cellular) on Friday night as the White Sox took on the Toronto Blue Jays. The DGN Chamber Choir was selected to sing both the Canadian and U.S. anthems, and we got to be down on the field. It was pretty exciting for Miles. We walked out on the field through the first base dugout. Players from the White Sox were out on the field doing batting practice, and manager Ozzie Guillén greeted the choir and posed for pictures. Miles got to stand in the 'on deck circle' with the MLB logo, which he thought was pretty cool.

One more Sox game in my future: June 6th is "Daddy/Daughter Day." I'm heading down with Emery, and three other friends/daughters (Bill Miller, Glenn Williams and Hank Vaughan).
