Yesterday I joined my Mom, Dad and Grandma for a baseball game. My parents got my grandma this pretty sweet combo deal thing for Christmas - 4 tickets, parking pass, 4 hot dogs and cokes (and some stuff I prob forgot.) Dad and I dropped mom and grandma off at the front door - and when we finally caught up with them in the stands, they were super impressed how helpful the people were. I guess some employee spotted grandma at the gate, got a wheeled chair for her, and took them in a different gate and rolled her all the way to the seats.
It was pretty entertaining, I enjoy people watching so I was set. (Yah, not a big watch sports guy.)
So here’s a funny story. In like the 3rd inning, they announced some Verizon thing. You take a picture with your cell phone and email it to this number and the winners picture is put on the super jumbo screen. Dad tells mom to do it, as I think mom has the picture service already paid for on her phone. I help mom send her photo she took of Dad and Grandma. Come 5th inning i tell mom her phone’s beeping, she had been not hearing the thing ring all night, so was frustrated she missed another call. We pullit out and it’s a text messaging saying her picture had won, it would be on the screen on the 7th, and stop by the customer service desk behind row 127. Pretty darn funny.
I took a few pictures of it, but a picture of the jumbo screen, of a picture taken on a cell phone… not quite the most detailed picture you will see from my camera, but it’s still cool.
update: I just realized I did a whole post about a baseball game and I didn’t even tell you what team we went to cheer for. Rockies. There now I think this is an official baseball post.
