\"A<\/a>

A fine finish to a great baseball season. Our youngest son’s baseball team celebrated with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just before the boys left Florida for good, T’s baseball team enjoyed an evening with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos. I had written about the Blue Wahoos games in a previous post in 2012<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The kids got to take part in the team’s “Field of Dreams” experience<\/a>, which was a block of seats together, dinner, getting introduced as a “featured guest” at the game, and a chance to hang out with the Blue Wahoos players before the game, either by singing the national anthem with them, or else running out to the field with the players as the players’ names are called.<\/p>\n

After the game (it was a double header!) the kids enjoyed a party on the stadium’s party deck where they received their trophies and had some dessert.<\/p>\n

We also ended up in a photo album<\/a> on the official Pensacola Blue Wahoos Facebook fan page.<\/p>\n
