Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!

On Saturday the rains came.  The worst part was that this cancelled batting practice.

It was kind of cool watching them turn the tarp though.

Still we waited in the rain

and waited...

and waited

Here is another favorite player Eddie Perez. He has been with the Braves organization for a long time.

I love this shot even if his eyes are closed. He was just so close to us.

I even got Eddie to wave at us.

Matthew was able to get a few autographs as the pitchers made their way to the bull pen.  They were so nice. I felt so bad for them as there were so many people who clearly had the intent to sell the autographs. It kind of takes the heart out of it.  Matthew was so excited.  Mike was just happy to see his favorite players.

The young guy in the dugout is our starting pitcher for the night.

Love this shot!!!

This kid{okay young guy} was so incredibly nice.  He was so sweet to Matthew even though he tried to get his autograph twice.  It was really incredible to see him set up pitch later in the game. I was really pulling for him.

I love this shot too!

again Mike had perma grin!

There is Bobbie sitting in there.  They said this would be his last time ever managing in Minnesota.  That really made us sad.  He was really well loved here.  They even joked about wishing him well "just not for the next three days"

It was really fun being able to see in the dugout.  


It was even better seeing them win! Braves are no longer win free in Minnesota.  They went on to win Sunday's game too.

  1. I didn't know Mike was a Braves fan, so is my Dad! Jack would have loved to be there but would have cheered for the Twins! Did you get any Minnesota autographs?

  2. Poor Matthew! A MN boy cheering for the Braves! :) He needs to hang around Kaden more, then he'll be cheering "Mauer Power"! :)
