I’m Back……..And Giants-Brewers 6/27
I am back, after a small hiatus from blogging.
Anyway, I went to the Giants-Brewers game at Miller Park on Saturday, 6/27, and I had a blast. I went because my sister is a big Aaron Rowand fan and wanted to see him play, so I tagged along.
Also, I am a Juan Uribe fan (he was my favorite when he was with the White Sox) so it was destined to be fun.
We got off to a late start leaving, but got there about a half hour after the gates opened. Let me tell you something about Milwaukee: everyone tailgates. I can’t tell you how awkward it was coming out of our car with a Giants shirt on (and a White Sox cap on) when you are surrounded by loads of tailgating Brewers fans. With me, I had a can of pineapple (I’ll explain later), my glove, a Juan Uribe jersey, cards for autographs, a baseball, a mini Giants helmet, and pens and sharpies.
So I made the long and awkward walk to the gate. They were holding a food drive, and since I love pineapple (I really do), I decided to bring a can to spread the joy of pineapple to others. For that, I got this:
A Jason Kendall collector’s pin. Cool.
I walked in to see Juan Uribe. I held up my jersey and he smiled and waved to me. He never did that to me when he was in Chicago, but it paid off. Here he is taking some BP:
