We were given Astros tickets by a family member who could not attend. We dropped off Major to stay with GGma while we went to the game and had a blast. They were playing the Angels and the Astros loved to hate on Albert Pujols. We simply enjoy baseball.
During the game an Angels player Andrelton Simmons tossed a foul ball to a little boy in front of us. His buddy was crushed. The next inning while warming up Albert Pujols was on deck. People in the stands began to heckle him. A foul ball bounced back his way and he waved off the bat boy who came to pick it up. He instead tossed it to the other little boy in front of us. They are now his biggest fans. The game goes on and although the Astros are losing we are having a good time. The wave gets going, Orbit comes by, it happens to be StarWars night and it is just good game fun.
A bit later the dugout manager comes to the side of the dugout and begins to toss balls into the stands. The little kids in front of us get one again. The dad suggests he give it to the kid behind them, that being Lucien. Now the story goes that the kid got the ball from Pujols mixed up with the other ball. Either way we had a great time and Lucien came home with wonderful memories and a baseball from the game.
