Game of the Year

Peña addresses the crowd, applauding the fans' heart saying, "We did this because of you!"

Addressing his team, "I love you guys!"

Group hug.

Picture this: your team is down 4-0 in the 9th inning, you've already been eliminated from playoff contention when your rivals won their game down in Cleveland, and maybe the only reason a huge crowd of 7,400+ is hanging around is because there's fireworks after the game. Do you give it up?

Nope.

Single. Walk. Walk. And with two outs, triple. Squeeze play and we are TIED 4-4. And with a fielder's choice in the 10th, an amazing comeback win to end the season with a 5-4 victory. 

Pandemonium ensues, with players, honored guests, and a dinosaur rushing the field. Midwest League manager of the year Bryan Peña addresses the crowd to give props to his players saying "they never give up, and it's because of you, the fans, who never gave up on us. It's because of youuuuuuu! It's heart! It's HEAAAAAAAART!" 

We didn't get to too many games this year because of our schedules, but enough to know we saw the game of the year. 

HBD Garrett

We did have two players taking residence in the basement, Aaron and Garrett, so we can claim baseball sons 25 and 26.  Garrett went home on his birthday, promising if he returns to WM, to come back home. 

And they always leave us a shower gel or shampoo.
