The Schwantz's

Great Day for a Ballgame!!

Twins vs Tampa Rays at Port Charlotte

I LOVE this stadium! I don't know if it's because I have great memories here watching the Cobbers play...when we came a few years ago to watch the Stonecrabs, the people were SOOOO nice....when we came today, I had forgotten our tickets at the hotel and they printed new ones out for us!!,....or once again the people were SOOOOOO nice to us..especially to the kids! Anyway...I love coming here!! And we had such a fun day!!

Craig and Austin were hanging out by the field during bp. Bert came up to go to the booth and walked by Craig and shook his hand!!! yay! Then he signed some autographs!

Gardy doing some interviews! I love him! Every game we've gone to he is playing catch, or playing second base....always so friendly! I think that's great!

Great seats...Craig got a good deal! We were right behind home plate in the shade....for a couple innings anyway. We moved out to the sun later, but you get into the game so much more when you are close!

We moved out here to the lawn seating after a few innings. We sat right next to the bullpen which was fun because in addition to the 6 balls the kids already got from ushers/security guards, Matt Capps threw Austin a ball while he was warming up, a security guard on the field threw Katelynn one, and then the right fielder threw Austin a foul ball during the game!!! So much fun for the kids. I ended up with 9 balls in my bag...not sure how they are going to fit in the suitcase!!

(I guess this is a norm here because we got some from ushers the last time we were here..after the 6th one I thought it was weird all these people were giving us balls! One lady fan even sought us out later because they had already given one to Austin and they had one for Katelynn now! One of the ushers told us they do it here and at Tampa's reg. games!!)
