Pawtucket Vs. Scranton-Wilkes Barre 7/3/13 (My Crazy Night)

The sequence of events that lead to the end of last night was really just incredible. Game time was at 6:15, rather than the usual 7:05, so my dad and I were running slightly late. We have a flex general  admission season ticket pack, but because of the fireworks show and school being out, EVERY SINGLE ticket was sold out other than "standing room only", which doesn't allow you to get in until 6:30. Kinda pissed off, we remembered that there was a scalper(yes even in Pawtucket), a little way back, but when we got to him, he had just sold everything he had. We then pretty much thought our night there was over, and my dad had even asked if any of the other local teams were home. Then we both remembered that there was another scalper towards where we parked. He ended up giving us tickets that not only got us into the game, but the barbecue area as well.

Because we now had barbecue tickets, my dad asked me if we should just stay in the bleachers in center field, since they were close, and after we got our food the other seats would be filled anyway. I agreed because I always like sitting in the outfield there now anyway.

If you haven't heard, Will Middlebrooks who happens to be my favorite player, had 8 RBI, 2 Home Runs, and went 4-5. His second home run came with the bases loaded, and here is what happened.

He belted the ball to center field, it hit the top of the wall, and bounced right to me!

His night was featured on both NESN and SportsCenter, and you could see me in those clips

In this video, you can see me better in the replay about halfway through:

Will is a great signer, and I knew I would see him outside because it was getaway day, so I knew that ball would become an awesome addition to my collection.

Like I said, it was getaway day, so every player had to get on the bus. Xander Bogaerts, and Jackie Bradley didn't sign, along with a few others.

I was able to get some more cards signed though.
