We had peanuts and Cracker Jack (and chips and Big League Chew), thanks to free goodie bags provided by Jon's company. They also provided the tickets. Keep the free stuff coming!
When the Rays were up by three in the fifth, Caleb was ready to throw in the towel. He just couldn't bear to witness another loss. We repeatedly denied his pleas to leave early.Things started to change in the bottom of the seventh inning when Caleb's favorite player, Griffey Jr., hit a homer. By the end of that inning, the M's had tied the game.
Caleb broke out his famous dance moves. I simply don't know how his grooving didn't make it to the JumboTron.
He certainly put on a show for those around us. Dad may be hearing all about it from the many coworkers that were witness to Caleb's dancing come Monday morning.
The game went into extra innings. The Rays hit a homer at the top of the eleventh inning and Caleb once again began begging to leave. It was nearly 11:00 pm but we'd come this far, Jon and I were determined to see the game through.
The M's got up to bat and managed to get one man on base but they were soon down to their last strike with two outs. It didn't look good.
We were resigning ourselves to witness yet another loss at Safeco Field when the game was saved with a walk-off two-run home run!
It's not hard for anyone who knows Caleb to imagine the celebration that occurred in our area of the stadium. It really was exciting.
Caleb stood and stared at the field until the sprinklers came on. And then he wanted his picture taken. Victory!
We missed you, Uncle Chad. We thought of you and wished you were there to watch such an exciting win with us. Go M's!

I am sooooo glad you stayed for the end of the game. It was exciting in our family room, I can only imagine how exciting it would have been to have been there. What a fun outing.
Umm...what about missing Aunt Erin!?!? You know, the instigator of the Seely section Rally Cap? :) Anyway, I'm glad you had a great time. I definitely wish I had been there too.
Wow! What an exciting game! Sounds like definitely a good time. What a fun way to spend an evening:)
Man, just once I want to witness a win! When I read about this game in the paper I knew how excited Caleb must have been! Good stuff!
Wasn't that a great game!! Yay for Langerhans saving the day with the walk off homer! Glad you got to witness it and didn't leave early. Kyle and I were bustin our dance moves just like Caleb from home :)
Glad you got to see a winning game, and free makes it even that much funner!
