That was fun to watch, right? But it was even more exciting to be there.
Unfortunately, I was not in left field, but the entire stadium was rocking from the start of that rally with Jim Thome.
Every year, when I was younger, my family would splurge on one game around my birthday and before school started up. I wanted to go see Ken Griffey Jr. in person for the first time and hoped Carlos Quentin, who I sure thought would win the MVP, would return from injury. I got to see both of them, but the fun was far from over.
