Go Darren O'Day

Last weekend the three of us made a last minute trip to Baltimore to watch the Rangers vs. Orioles game. Andrew & I have known about the game for some time but didn't want to get tickets since it was so close to the baby arriving. We woke up Saturday & decided to just go & we are so glad that we did.

The reason we wanted to go was to see Darren O'Day (one of my brother Sean's best friends & a friend of the family) who is a relief pitcher for the Rangers. Luckily, our seats were close to the bull pen so we went over to see if Darren was around...and he was. We got to talk to him for a bit & say "hello."
Darren even gave Landon a ball from the game! Landon thought that was the coolest & wouldn't let go of it (not even when he napped). We just need to get it signed. The ball is up in Landon's room next to the signed minor league ball from Darren.
We enjoyed the game though there wasn't much action. Rangers lost, 7-0.

At the end of the game we walked back over to the bull pen to say goodbye to Darren & watch him head over to the dugout.
I was so glad that we decided to go. It was really cool to see this awesome guy playing professional ball, which is something most can only dream about!
