WORLD SERIES - GAME TWO
Smudge-Gate
















Yes - I'm still in shock that I have two tickets to the World Series Game 2 in my hand. Wait a minute....where is Noelle? She looks a lot like Ben.....
















Still in shock - as we walked up to the gate, I had to get a close up of the tickets to remind myself that I had them....















Game ON! The Tigers start off fast with a Homer by Monroe and some clutch hitting to take a 2-0 lead in the first inning. We also found out that Kenny Rogers had "something" on his hand that magically disappeared by the second inning..... (hence "smudge-gate")















No - we are not drunk - just have perma-smile.
$15 gets you a big book of advertisements and a few articles. How can you not get one though?















Tiger Closer, Todd Jones, nearly blows a three run lead in the ninth and in the process takes a few years off of the lives of Tiger fans.......Yeah he almost blew it.....
















......But as you can see above - the Tigers take Game 2 to tie up the series at one game a piece......

In many ways I am still in shock that I was able to go to a WS game. When Noelle called me from work, on Friday, and said "So - you wanna go to the game on Sunday?", I thought she meant a Pistons pre-season game............ The lack of babysitting, the rain and thirty some degree weather while fighting a cold, kept Noelle away, but part of me thinks she wanted to bless brother Beaner (the biggest baseball fan we know) with the opportunity to go to a live WS game. It was also a chance to repay him for the invite to the ALCS game a week earlier.

The Tigers won this game, however, they lost the next three in St. Louis. In perspective - it was an amazing season that left a little more to be desired next year. I won't soon forget my first (and quite possibly my only) World Series game experience. Major Thanks to KDM/D - A dream of mine became a reality! (you are too cool)
