Walking Off With a Win

Blogging late tonight.  Way too much excitement at Josh's baseball game.  Josh's team was down by 4 runs going into the bottom of the 4th inning, but then they scored 5 runs to go ahead.  The other team scored a run in the top of the 5th and a run in the top of the 6th to go ahead 6-5.  The games are regulation six innings, so Josh's team needed to score in the bottom of the 6th.  The first batter walked, the second struck out, and then the third batter -- after fouling off several pitches -- hit a home run over the center field fence!  And a walk-off home run, ladies and gentlemen, is exciting at any level.  (My father even said that he probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight.)

Lew did not get a hamburger plate.  We had steak & cheese sandwiches at home before we left.  But we did get a Sea Dogs Biscuit at the game.  A Sea Dogs Biscuit is like a sandwich -- vanilla ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies.

Lew probably could have downed a hamburger plate, but earlier today he had gone to his tuxedo fitting for Matt's wedding.  I will not comment any further, allowing the reader to figure that out on his or her own.

(Postscript:  My cousin Kathy's husband, Gordon, posted the following on my Facebook page:  "Read your blog about Lew's focus on food at the ball game. My barbershop chorus is singing the National Anthem for an Indy Indians game on August 16, and I'm excited, because it's dollar night. $1 hot dogs!"
