My Day At U.S. Cellular Field taking BP

Featured Replies

My Dad is the greatest man living. He is a season ticket holder and today he passed on a chance to take BP and field on US Cellular Field and passed that down to me, his 16 year-old son. And I love him for it. Here's some pictures of me taking BP, fielding, and pitching in the bullpen to none other than my Dad. Did any of you go today?

 

Pitching in the visitors bullpen to my dad:

The last one is me and my Dad in the bullpen sports bar havin a drink (of soda :)). This was truly the best day of my life.

I expect you to be the starting Right Fielder in a few years.

 

Ten Hut!

I LOVE my Dad!

Looks like you had a good time!! :headbang. I hate to say but I'd probably rock you with my hitting.. ;) :lol: I can't pitch worth a lick like my little brother (most accurate pitcher I know and he's only 11.. :o) But hey.. I got speed.. :D

No offense, but your dad reminds me of Jerry Krause for some strange reason.. :huh

He's Italian? :lol:

 

But hey if I had to choose between my Dad owning the White Sox and doing that all the time or him doing what he did today, I'd choose what he did today.

Looks like you had a great time at the Cell there, that'd be such an awesome experience too. :)

The grass out there is like the fairway on Augusta :). It's perfect! Plus I took a little bit of the infield dirt and put it in my bat bag =).

Echo! Echo! Just playin' with you!

That is the coolest thing ever. I can't, honest to God, think of anyother way I'd rather spend a day. How did you get that chance? Props to your pops, too. :headbang :headbang :headbang

Dude...That is so awesome. That has to be the sweetest thing ever. I get chills just seeing that place in person.

Trying to pickup a flyball there is pretty tough. I couldn't image how hard it'd be to pick a flyball up when there's a crowd full of different colored t-shirts and what not.

what a dream man, thats unreal, when i was your age, that would make me completely motivated to get there some how =D

 

do it up brother!

BJ8, why is it that your happiness only makes me sadder inside?

 

It's just not fair. :crying
