"That boy" was Olivia's reply when Josie asked who had given her the baseball she is proudly displaying in the picture above. "That boy" was actually Dan Heran, (pictured below)
pitcher for the Diamondbacks who presently has the best ERA in the National League. We learned this from the fella in this picture (click to see it), who was standing beside us at the left field wall during batting practice. I think Heran was a little bit offended when he handed us the ball and then heard me say "who was that?" Sorry to Mr. Heran for not keeping up with my SportsCenter lately. And Olivia expresses her thanks to him. She carried that ball around for most of the game and a good bit of the day today.
We forgot to take our camera to the game this time, but the Padres' photographer took this shot (again, click here to see it) of us before the game started. This was just our second game, and we took blankets and sat on the lawn in right field with our friends Joe and Josie. The park in the outfield is probably our favorite feature of PETCO Park.
