My Lucky Day

Jay and I went to our third Mariners game this year and so far, each game we've attended they have won. I'll admit, the Ms are not doing so great in the month of May, but it was great to see them win last night. We always get there early so we can watch batting practice. We have seats in the front row in Right Field, so it's perfect fly ball territory and we bring our gloves. Well, soon after we had taken our seats, magic happened. I am not sure which of the Mariners hit this ball because they aren't wearing their jerseys during practice, but it came flying deep to RF and I remember thinking "hm, it's not deep enough, so I won't bother to stand up"....I was right. However, it hit the warning track and BOUNCED up over the wall and into my lap. I was merely reacting to the ball when it landed into my glove. HOW'S THAT FOR LUCK?!?!?! My only regret is not knowing who it was that hit the ball. But it is a pretty sweet momento from my beloved Mariners - it's got real grass and dirt stains from Safeco field, pitched and hit by someone from the Mariners ball club!! You can bet, I was on cloud nine :)
