The Boys Take The Field with the Diamondbacks

Last night, the boys got to participate in the "Take The Field With Players" promotion at the Diamondbacks game. Eight children were selected to take part. Originally, Kyle was the one chosen from our family, but when someone didn't show up, Lucas was asked if he would like to step in!

Both boys got to run out onto the field with a Diamondbacks player: Kyle was paired with Short-Stop, Steven Drew and Lucas was with 2nd Baseman, Orlando Hudson. They got to run out onto the field, visit with their assigned player, and stand with them during the National Anthem. Each of the kids got a baseball autographed by their player. They also got their names on the scoreboard, pictures on the Jumbotron, and FREE t-shirts!!!!!

The pictures below tell the story better than I ever could. Last names were displayed at the game, but I chose to edit the photos for Internet safety purposes. Click on the photos to see them larger.
