Strike one
Everyone should have a list of things they want to do sometime during their life. This list may or may not be realistic. Maybe it includes climbing Mount Everest. Running a marathon. Visiting the South Pacific. Shagging Halle Berry.
My list is mostly unrealistic (it includes the latter example above). But last night, I got to cross something off the list when I threw out the first pitch at a professional baseball game. Yup, that's me in the pic flinging a fastball home at Friday's Savannah Sand Gnats game against the hated Lake County Captains at Grayson Stadium. Click it for the big version, where you can (kinda) tell it's me. I was representing The Packet because we sponsored Hardeeville Night at the stadium.
For the record, I threw a strike that caught the inside corner. The Gnats actually won the game too, 3-2, on a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Now that's done. Time to decide whether I should concentrate next on sitting in on drums for a couple tunes with the Barenaked Ladies or making an appearance on Letterman.

Yeah, Brian!
Only 2 things brought down the night. 1) our LOUD friend shaming a stocky player about his weight until he flicked said friend off, & 2)getting Homeland Security brochures on the way out. But hey, a good new change were the sex-on-the-beach shots they were handing out in test tubes. Yeah, baseball!

I'm trying to make a snarky comment here. I can't. Damnit.
Congrats on reaching a goal. Bastard.

ooh, I have one. How about adding "blogging more often" to your list of things to do? No really, congrats- that's pretty cool. Way cool. I'm just tired (and tipsy, thanks to your woman pushing me to drink. . .)

Congrats Brian! That's really cool. I'm going to a Rockies game on Sunday, provided it doesn't snow (don't laugh, it's forecast for tonight and tomorrow). However, there's no way I'll be tossing out the first ball.
