We have a long history of 'Did you see that!' It probably started (maybe our first Cardinals game together) when Pete's Dad innocently asked Pete to pick up his dropped All Star Ballot and Pete missed one of Mark Magwire's towering home runs. We still use that to this day ('Hey Pete, can you pick up my all star ballot?'). Albert Pujols is coming up to bat? Hey Pete, can you pick up my all star ballot?
More likely though is the 'Did I MISS anything' reaction that originated with Karen Loftus when we were at a Mets v. Cardinals game at Shea and she left to look for some Ice Cream. Of course 2 innings later when she finally got back, having missed (Magwire again) a home run hit to the Citgo! 'Did I MISS anything?'
See above where I was at the concession stand. I can't even count the number of cool things I have missed because I was at the concession stand. This particular photo was taken after we fled our campground in Cave Mountain lake because of tornado warnings, and then huddled in a hotel for 2 hours monitoring the Sox website while the rain poured down outside. It was a beautiful night.
But I guess that's the point, it's always a beautiful night in the ballpark. After this, I will steadfastly maintain that if you follow a rainbow to the end, there will be baseball.
