A trip to the ballpark with X10...
The 4th of July is tomorrow and X10 celebrated with a trip to a Tacoma Rainiers game last Saturday. In case you are not familiar, the Rainiers are part of the farm system for the Seattle Mariners. Having lived in Tacoma Washington all of my life I have been a fan of the Rainiers ever since they were the Tacoma Tigers. It was a nice change of pace from working hard on the X10 Sentinel website, to soaking up the amazing weather. I have to say that this summer has been outstanding as far as sunshine goes. It was also nice to be with the X10 team and not have to worry about websites.
So how was the game? It was great, the Rainiers currently have several players on their roster that have each had substantial time spent in the major leagues – and others that will at some point make it their permanent home. Mike Morse, Gregg Dobbs, and Shin Soo Choo have all seen time with Seattle. The highlight of the game would have to be the inside the park homerun by Choo. Now that’s something you don’t see everyday. Choo plays right field for the Rainiers which is a position that Ichiro will hold as long as he in an M’s uniform.
Overall it was a good time. Now its back to work!
