Barons Game

Last night we went to the Birmingham Barons game with Tom's lab. Unfortunately, they lost to the Huntsville Stars, but we still had a good time. I really wish they were playing the Montgomery Biscuits instead, because, look at their mascot, it's a biscuit, with a piece of BUTTER as it's tongue!!! We had a little area off of the first base side complete with picnic tables, brats, and burgers. They even had fireworks after the game! Here is my favorite story from the night (and believe me, I heard A LOT of interesting stories...particularly about the fine delicacies like squirrel and racoon for Thanksgiving dinner).

Tom was wearing his Phillies World Series Champs shirt and went to go get some ice cream at one point. That's how he met his new little friend. The conversation goes as follows:

Philly Kid: Hey, are you really from Philly?
Tom: Yeah, are you?
Philly Kid: Yep.
Tom: What are you doing down here?
Philly Kid: Better neighborhood.
Tom: So what do you think about McNabb being traded to the Redskins?
Philly Kid: Good, I hate him, it's about time.
Tom: I dunno, you think Kolb is going to do much better?
Philly Kid: Who cares? Vick should be starting anyways.

Yep, the kiddo was definitely from Philly!
