Yep, that's right. Another Astro blog. Thanks to Mike's Dad and Pam, we got AWESOME seats between the dug out and home plate. The fist pic on the right is during the Natl. anthem. The picture underneath it is of the giant flag they brought out for Natl. Anthem---4th of July style.
On the left are a few of our favorite players. Berkman, Ensberg, Pence, and of course Biggio (who just reached 3000 career hits). As you can see, we were directly behind the batter's box.
We arrived at the park early to make sure we got the hats they were giving away. Once we got inside, Ezra and I walked down to the rail to see if we could get an autograph. Sure enough, pitcher Dan Wheeler came over and signed our new baseball cap. Then we went to our seat. Since we were one of the first ones to sit in our section and we were only 4 rows behind the camera man we were easily noticed. The camera man turned around and said, "What a cute baby. I have to get him on camera. How old is he?" He then 
proceeded to tell us about his 5 1/2 month old, 
Curran and showed us a cute picture of him. After we made friends with the camera man and felt relatively sure we might make it on TV, we made a few phone calls to family and friends so they could keep an eye out for us. We were on TV 3 times. To see us, click on this link http://houston.astros.mlb.com/mediacenter/index.jsp?c_id=hou . Then double click on the green box that says 7/4/07 Phillies vs. Astros. Then click on the MLB.TV. You can slide the little ball down the line to fast forward to our clips (the most important parts of the game ;) ). The first clip is about 10 seconds and Bill Brown comments on the "little Bagwell fan". It is at 42 min 7 sec into the game. The other 2 clips are during "God Bless America" at 1 hour 58 min 04 sec and then another close 
up at 1 hour 58 min and 17 sec. So cool!
