Hit Bull, Win Steak

Tonight I am in Durham , North Carolina. I have a wedding here tomorrow and the Bride and Groom threw a private party bash at the Durham Bulls game. The Richmond Braves were whipping the snot out of the Bulls when I had to leave in the 7th inning.
I went to buy a hot dog to use in a photo and my wallet was not in my pocket. I thought I had lost my wallet, so I left to start making the phone calls to the credit card company, but, it was in the rental car. So not being able to get back into the game, I came back to the hotel. The Richmond Braves were great, but not as good as my son's team the Fairview Vipers. He was playing in a State tournament in Fayetteville, Ga He hit a single, double and a triple and scored twice. They won 14-6 and made it into the third round of the playoffs. I would have loved to have been there instead of getting updates over the cell phone.

If you ever saw the movie "Bull Durham" with Kevin Costner, well this is the team he was on. In the movie there was this sign in the outfield that said " Hit Bull Win Steak, Hit Grass Win Salad" The photo at top is of me standing under the sign. The sign was moved from the old stadium that was in the movie to the beautiful new one that they play in now. If you are a hockey fan, (I know NOTHING about the game) I will bet you have never seen INSIDE the Stanley Cup. The Durham hockey team won the Stanley Cup this year and the hero of the team , the goalie, drove the cup around the warning track and threw out the first pitch. See a photo that I took of the cup from above.
