After a long week at work, I decided to take my family to see the Armadillos play on Opening Day. I have always been a huge sports fan and was really excited when I heard that we were getting a team in Austin. I could not believe the family discounts that the Team offered. Growing up in Boston, my family was able to go to one game a year because tickets were very over priced. Now with the Family discounts, I can take my family to multiple games this season. My oldest son is 12 and my youngest son is 10. Both of them started playing T-Ball as soon as they could pick up the bat. I was so glad that I could share the Inaugural Game with them and my wife.
During the National Anthem, I got the chills when the F-16s flew over the field. I remembered the time my dad had taken me to my first game and the incredible experience we had shared.
My sons watched the game and instantly became fans of the Armadillos. The games and activites between innings really kept my sons interested. It was great to see that they have started to become as interested in the MLB just like their father.
I have to say that the best experience of the entire night was during the 8th inning. Pablo Sandivido hit a foul ball right to our seats and I snatched it out of the air. I could not have asked for a better souvenir to give to my sons to share.
Thanks Austin Armadillos for the experience I will share with my kids for the rest of my life.
