Texas Rangers

2 weekends ago… back on September 12th, my Grandma was honored at the Ranger Game for having season seats since 1972. They gave her a certificate for being a “Quarter Century Fan” even though it’s closer to 40 years! She was so excited! We both were really excited!

When we got there, they immediately put her into a wheel chair and we were on our way to the field.

Ok, say what you want about him, but he is really pretty & has nice form. Derek Jeter. And to quote Gma, “Better Jeter than A-fraud.”:

It was really hot that day, and Gma walking all the way down to the front row was just not in the cards for us that day, so we sat in the Gold Club to watch the game. We sat at the table they have reserved for the handicapped. Gma says they reserve it just for her. Great view of the game and air conditioned:

Gma and I had a great time! Made memories I will never forget!

Then, yesterday, the Rangers won their division and are now headed to the playoffs. It’s been a long time coming and I hope I get to take Gma to a playoff game. She is so much fun!

Thanks for taking me Grandma! I love you!!!
