The season actually began a couple of weeks ago. But last night was our first chance to get to a home game. We have come to love out Bellingham Bells Baseball Club. The games are so much fun, with fan participation and the autographs sessions...the boys trying to get a baseball. Last night Norm and I went with Zeke and his friend Issac. This year has been especially exciting for Zeke. One of his favorite college football players is Jake Locker (a young man from Ferndale, just a bit north of us). Jake is the starting quarterback for University of Washington. This summer Jake is playing baseball for the Bells. Well Zeke was very excited for the game to end...shake Jake's hand, get him the sign the baseball and have mom take a picture. Zeke was starting to get worried that he would not get a foul ball. Well in got one..it was funny..as it bounced back off the stands and back into the field and rolled toward the dugout. Zeke was standing by the rail near the dugout. One of the players walked over picked up the ball and tossed it to Zeke. "Yipee he had his ball". Now just to wait until the end of the game to get Jake's autograph. Also for your 3rd inning entertainment. Zeke and Issac were chosen to "Dance for their Dinner". So out to the field they went..Issac was the official winner..but we did buy Zeke a dinner...so I guess it was a two for one.
