Week of baseball

Our first promotional event went well. The guys took on Washington County St. Croix team at Midway Stadium in St. Paul prior to the Saints game on Monday, May 23rd.

Brad playing shortstop. Mankato Baltics lost 4-3 but did really well! We have been asked to come back next year for a bigger event so we are looking forward to that.

Alayna participated in a race on the field at the end of 2nd inning. She beat her cousin Austin by cheating (she drove straight to the end instead of through the cones, lol) and won a case of White Castle burgers. Ick! We gave the coupon to Austin's dad who "appreciates" them more than us.

Our friend, Vern volunteered to sit in rightfield as the "Player of the Game". He sat on that platform the whole game and if he caught a homerun he would win $10,000. Well folks he was literally FINGERTIPS away from doing so!! A screamer came to him and he just couldn't get a hand on it. The Saints reps said that was the closest anyone had ever gotten. We couldn't believe it and I don't think he'll ever forget it either.
