I live in the Nashville area, and am a big Astros fan. Their AAA affiliate, Oklahoma City Redhawks, were in town. I got front row seats, right behind the Redhawks bullpen the night before the game. My daughter got her picture taken with three of their players, a former and soon to be Astro again,Robbie Grossman, and 2 of their future stars Domingo Santana, and Jonathon Singleton. Several of the players signed my daughter's baseball.
There is not a player that I'm rooting for more than Robbie Grossman. He started the season as the Astros left fielder, but because of a slump, was sent down. He could have had an attitude about it, and thought he was above talking to the fans, but he was completely the opposite. We are both from the Houston area, and he took several minutes talking to me about his old stomping grounds. Nothing, but class.
What a great day! I can't wait to see some of these guys take the mantle of the parent club, and change our fortunes around. Today I remembered why I was a fan, and I think my daughter became an even bigger one today also.
