Live At Perdue Stadium

It's a great crowd tonight and all the families are in attendance. The students from the Sylvan Learning center had a blast walking around the field with their parents while getting high fives from all the players and Sherman! And remember every 7th inning if the Shorebirds score a run everyone and we mean everyone gets a free Hardee's Thickburger....mmmmm

Good question! It was like being in a 3-D Movie! I was talking to other people in the Press Box when someone said, watch out. I looked up and what's REALLY strange about being up there, directly behind home plate. the ball actually looked like it was heading into the outfield, TILL THE LAST SECOND!

All of a sudden that ball was right upon me and you're darned right I moved out of the way. That being said, the ball did hit the back wall and when it bounced off I did reach out backwards and the ball hit my arm. I almost caught it blind but it bounced off my arm and fell below into the crowd.

More importantly, no one was hurt. Thanks for caring. LOL
