What a night for this almost 5 year old!!! You all know how much JP LOVES the Royals. His true passion for the team... such a true-blue fan!! You gotta love his heart, right? Well, we went to his last game of the year last night when the Royals played the Minnesota Twins. And what a night it was.
We got there an hour early to line up at the gate so we would be sure to get the George Brett Figurines they were giving away. We also love to try to catch batting practice and we did get to see the tail end of the Royals practice. Not only that but JP got tossed 2 batting practice balls within 5 minutes. Heaven for this kid. On to the "Little K" we went for some playtime.... JP hit in the Little K, fielded and rode the carrousel. Of course he waited in line until he could ride the bat/ball on the carrousel.... nothing else would do. LOL On to our seats we went...JP doesn't want to miss a pitch! He kept saying, "Come on, Mom! We can't miss "the storm!" That is part of the Royals intro... JP had dubbed it "the storm."
All season long JP has wanted to be on the jumbotron. This was probably his 12th game and he never got to see himself up there. Until this game. Not only was he on the jumbotron, we were told that he was on the previous night in the "Straight Talk" segment with Timmy Scott. Too bad we missed it but we are hoping to catch it on his Facebook page. JP was SO excited when he was on... up close and personal! He was in heaven. Then to top it off he got a tshirt in the tshirt toss. Even though it is an adult tshirt he says it is his "sleep" shirt so of course he wore it to bed last night. I think he dreamed about the Royals all night long.
It's going to be a long off season for this little boy. Can't wait until the 2010 season!!! And it's looking good that one of his favorite players, Zack Greinke, may win the AL Cy Young award for best pitcher. He ROCKS.
So, a professional photographer snapped a couple of pics of JP during the game last night and was kind enough to email them to me. Check out these expressions.... Yep, he's a true fan!
Gotta Love it. Go Royals.
