The Sandlot


Looks like Travis caught him from the T-shirt gun!






Watching the roof open from the upper deck!






I love this picture...






Travis and Billy went for a boys night to the Diamondbacks game last weekend. Billy has been crazy for the movie Sandlot and all that it stands for lately, he wants to be Benny, and Travis thought this would be the perfect time to take him to his first "big show". They met up with Brian and Josh Getman and took the new Light Rail train to the stadium. I am pretty sure they had a great time. He certainly came home with enough swag! First it was bobble head night (Justin Upton), who knew, then a couple "treats" later, came a DBacks cap for Billy and Dad too, then Getman got him a bat and ball...Plus the train ride and the game...I think the kids head could explode. Travis took Billy to the Future Little Leaguers area where he actually stood in line for 30 minutes to get to play ball like a pro. There was a pitching coach throwing balls for the kids who got to hit and then play each position as other kids were hitting. I still can't believe my little Billy, the kid who always wants "to go home" did it! Billy had a blast. Even though it was originally planned to be a "guys night out" I think Travis had a pretty good time too.

That is so sweet. I bet he absolutely loved it. He was his own little Benny for a night.
