Well, we had planned on surprising Brad Stone on Saturday when the Jacksonville Suns were playing in Knoxville, TN. Well, he texted me Thursday night around 10:30 p.m. and said they'd switched his pitching day to Friday, so he was going to start. Well, we talked to him and he left four tickets for us at the door.

We made it just before the game. We got to spend some time with him Friday evening. We spent some time with him Saturday; before, during, and after the game. It was great seeing him and all of us getting a chance to really catch up.

Saturday was also Ryne Sandberg bobblehead night, so we were able to score four of them. Aside from the bobbleheads, this is what we brought back (we will be receiving 2 team autographed baseballs of the Jacksonville Suns team, but Brad is going to send that later this coming week):

Autographs for the boys' teachers and a friend

AND the best for last......

Brad had this happen a week or so ago and was going to mail it until he found out we were coming:

His very first cracked bat

We cannot wait until the chance arises to go see Brad and the Suns again! I did meet another FCB member face-to-face, but I've already forgotten his userid. So, if you read this, I'm very sorry!

What's with the two Mrs. Stephens/Stevens? Did he misspell it the first time or are there two teachers?

Kind of strange, but two different teachers. Noah's and Luke's. lol

Sounds like an awesome trip!

Are you willing to give up one of the bobbleheads? If so, I would like to buy one.

If I had known, I would have found a way to get one while we were there. Each of the boys is going to keep one, we gave two to cousins that are HUGE Cubs fans and have been forever.

Sorry.

No problem. There's one on the Bay now, so I'll just hit that one up.

Thanks.

It's cool to personally know an up and coming baseball player but the best part of this, by far, is being able to share this time with your boys. Awesome story and congrats!!!
