Cleveland Indians Game

We went to the game on this past Saturday. Bryan and I decided to go together and get Dad tickets for Father's Day. Also we put a message on the board at the game for Mom & Dad's 40th wedding anniversary (which was on July 8th for those of you who want to know). Before the game we got an interview with the pitcher Paul Byrd. After the game we got a Michael Tait concert up close and personal. It was an awesome time! Also I had my first experience hopping tracks. Some random guy was laying on the ground with parametics around him when we got off of the train from downtown. It was pouring rain and rather chilly as we stood with the massive crowd of people coming back from downtown. We had to cross the bridge to get to the other side of the tracks which lead to the station and parking lot. Unfortunately the guy (who looked very dead) was blocking the way with his rescuers. Of course, Andy suggested to hop the tracks after standing for two minutes being miserable as the weather was as it was. Yeah right I thought. So I managed to quickly blurt out that it is raining and there are probably electrical lines down there so it wouldn't be a good idea to jump down there. Bryan, unfortunately had to mention that the lines would be above and it shouldn't be a problem. We let this random other guy jump first and so the rest of us followed. Me, reluctantly as I was freaked out to jump into tracks. We then asked one of the firefighters what happened to the guy laying down as we reached safety inside the station. He said the guy was so drunk that he slipped and fell and hitt his head. I suppose that's what the city of Cleveland gets for hosting a Kenny Chesney concert downtown sponsored by a rum company. What a night!
