As a special treat on Sunday afternoon, Daddy and Great Grandpa headed into the big city to see Great Grandpa's beloved Blue Jays take on the evil New York Yankees in an afternoon matchup. Great Grandpa is a tireless fan of the team, watching as many of the games as he can from the comfort of his living room, today it was time for him to see it in person for the first time this year. The stadium was completely packed and although the roof was closed due to forecasted rain, that didn't stop the Jays from jumping out to an early lead and hanging on to beat the Yankees 10-7. With nice seats near the third base bag, Daddy and Great Grandpa were well situated to see all the action and even came about two rows away from getting a foul ball! Great Grandpa was happy to tell everyone at yesterday's picnic that he was going to the game, where everyone talked about the struggles the team is having, but today they overcame them to give all their fans a win! Hopefully we can make this an annual tradition where we can get Great Grandpa to a game, if only we can make a deal where the Jays live up to their part of the bargain and give us a win too!
