So, I was on a softball team this summer, and the roster of said softball team was filled with a lovable gang of drunks. As it happens, we were sponsored by Tommy Nevin’s, and we spent more money there than any of the other sponsored teams. By way of reward (or, perhaps, punishment), Tommy Nevin’s is sending a pair of us to tomorrow night’s Cubs game. Before the game, we will actually have a chance to get onto the field and take some batting practice. Will I humiliate myself? Almost definitely.
But I sure as hell am looking forward to it. If I can get any good pictures, I’ll post them on Twitter. I will definitely NOT post video of me taking BP.
I’ll be in my seats, Kerm. Be sure to stop by and regale us with a story or two about roping one off of Benny Cadahia’s forehead (does he still throw BP?). I’m guessing there’ll be plenty of empty seats around us you can sit in.
And dude–is this the Tommy Nevin’s in Evanston, or is there one out in the thrill too?
Mike and Kerm, please let us know if there is anything resembling a full house at Wrigley. It would be pretty sad to be paying…I’ll say it again…THE SECOND HIGHEST TICKET PRICE IN BASEBALL…to watch the two bottom teams in the NL Central.
Above comments notwithstanding, enjoy yourself tonight, Kerm…it’s not everyday fans get a shot at taking BP at an MLB ballpark. Remember to choke up[ on the bat!
Lots of people have taken BP against the Cubs this year. Kinda wondering if Kerm beat up Ronnie Cedeno, suited up in his uni and took some hacks at some unsuspecting Cubs rookie pitcher.
