World Series

What a lucky kid … I had never been to the World Series before, but Skyler, less then a year old, got to go to the World Series (it helped that you don’t have to pay for a child under 2). Since the Rays made it to the World Series, and Skyler and Daddy had been going to all the games, it would have been tough to miss it! We went with Patty and Adam and got some really GREAT seats. Skyler was kind of a Rays Icon during those days, and always made it on the Jumbo-Tron. My dad even got a text from one of his old associates saying that he saw Skyler on the Jumbo-Tron. The key was to ensure his ray-hawk was perfect. People kept stopping us at the game and asking if they could get a picture with the “Rays Baby.”  It would have been the perfect night if they had won, but unfortunately luck was not with us for this series! We had a great night and Skyler even ended up with a Rays World Series bat which is proudly displayed in his room.  We tried to introduce Skyler to Raymond (the mascot), but he did not want anything to do with him and cried in my shoulder. To this day, he still does not like creatures in costume like that! He got to go to the Rays touch tank during the game and someone even gave him a baseball that he enjoyed eating.
