So, Mrs. Sqrunt and I went to the game today and boy was it a blast!
We went to get her a Frequent Friar card because she just has to have one. I redeemed a voucher for some sweet swag that'll will eventually end up in the closet.
The Guest Relations girl behind the counter asks me if I'd like to guess the attendance tonight. I'm standing there trying to guess how many people are in attendance and my wife elbows me and says "YES!, He will'!
What just happened?
RIGHT FIELD, SECTION 129
So I meet up with Pad Squad Chris(?) at the bottom of the 6th, was so hoping to meet Pad Squad Kendra, and he takes me up to the media deck where we meet up with John Weisbarth. Nice guy Weisbarth. He was distracted trying to text his sister. I ask him to do a shout out to the GLB, did anyone else hear the GLB shout out?, and we get on to the business of guessing the attendance. Now, I didn't know what the prize was until they brought it out. When Weisbarth tells me I'm playing for one of Giles' balls, I get this feeling in my gut. The kind of feeling you get when you've had too many Friar Franks and the restroom in section 123 has a line out the door. Yeah, that bad. Being a good sport, I guess the attendance and win Brian Giles' ball. It doesn't even have an MLB hologram for authenticity. WTF?!
I have this Greg Maddux auto'd ball, MLB hologram included, I've been meaning to get a cube to put it in. Now, thanks to Brian Giles, I have one.

What did Weisbarth actually say for the Gaslamp Ball shout out?
So funny that the best part of the prize was the baseball cube. Great Fan Post!

Way to win Sqrunt!
Glad yo didnt have to guess how many Cubbie fans were in attendance. That would have been embarassing.

I didn’t know it was you until after it happened! So I wasn’t paying any attention

I didn't hear, per se
I had my radio on my head. I did see, though, and I helped you guess correctly. Good show.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

At first I was like "Up! UP!"
And then I was like “Down! DOWN!”
