Osprey wrap up

August 16, 2008
3 games in 3 days.
3 wonderful nights
31 baseballs obtained by the big C (did not keep them all – several little kids also benefited)
Day 1 – 11 found scrounging around the outfield beyond the fence
Day 2 – 7 found scrounging, 1 thrown to C during batting practice, 1 thrown up during the game
Day 3 – 9 found scrounging, 1 thrown to C during batting practice, and 1 autographed ball after the game.

The autographed ball (by Kevin Eichhorn) was won during Launch-a-Ball game after the real game.
You try and land your ball in different color hoops for different prizes.
Kevin Eichhorn is the son of former Major Leaguer Mark Eichhorn,  and a third round draft pick of the Diamondbacks.

Oh – the team lost 4-3, and the Osprey were hanging out in their nest.

Coming Round the Mountain

5.5 miles so far, probably another 1.5 a bit later.
Took a walk down the river today, around the mountain instead of the usual walk up to the M
