I'll move this to the main board so it is seen by more.
I thought that the setup was great, everyone nearby. The rain didn't come close to dampening the spirit of the day.
I'd like to mention a few things in some particular order.
Thanks Scott for giving us this place. This is 1A...thanks Jay for your work on the group tickets. You get nothing out of it, but, you give non-season ticket holders a great way to see the game. Really appreciate you. All of the old friends...great seeing you again. For those who didn't make it this year I hope we catch up soon. All of the new friends...great meeting you and I hope that you make TBDHOT a tradition. (in no particular order CBFGGLeviDrDaurBillsinBurgh...who am I leaving out? I'm old and feeble, forgive me) Food was outstanding. Stromboli was great as always even if the waiter wasn't as cute as the regular one. FF...thanks for taking over for mead. Big shoes and you filled them well. Mrags...thanks for keeping my belly full. CC...venison and corn was outstanding. JB...the shine was outstanding. JJack...I lost count of how many jello shots I had (Kelly is a keeper)! Googny...thank you for the local brew... Hammer...thanks for giving us a place to get together. (sorry, I dragged a traffic cone out onto Abbott because I had to get out of my spot sideways. I was pulling over to grab it when a sheriff stopped to pick it up. Hope you got it back.) Whoever has my chimney...give it a good home, I think I left it sitting by the grill. At least 20 people came up to me and said the same thing about one particular guy, I'll let you figure out who it was...this is what each one basically said..."how the !@#$ did CC end up with her?" As great as it was, the game almost played second fiddle, I had that much fun. Hindsight, Promo, eball...next time please stop by to say hello. Hopefully Mrs. BB can make it again next year and possible a mini-ball or two.
