The whole reason we planned this trip was to catch a Spring Training game of the Brewers! We were pretty excited to have Grandpa, Grandma, Kathy and Rocky with us. It was so fun and we look forward to going back! Before the game we were able to catch the players warming up on the practice fields. A few of them
even walked through the main front of the park to head in. We were able to catch Marcus Hanel, the Brewers long time bullpen catcher. He is also a Racine native and knows Uncle Ryan and Uncle Chuck. He told Madi and Drew that he knew their uncles and they thought that was pretty cool.
We were there plenty early and were able to get all set up. Our seat turned out perfect just a few rows behind the dugout. We had been wondering for weeks if we would even get to see our favorite players as often they switch off playing and it is their "tryout" players during Spring Training. Much to our pleasant surprise they had their opening day starters on the field except for one outfielder who was injured. It was awesome to see all of them take the field. Drew's favorite pitcher even made it out there and they were able to watch him warm up. Unfortuntely, Drew missed him by a millisecond to get his signature as the game was ending. The Brew Crew actually pulled off a win with us in their stadium - a first time feat for them and us! :) Drew and Madi were also able to get some signatures from a few of their prospects after the game, Drew got a ball from a pitcher and also Marcus Hanel as well but they gave one to a little boy who had been waiting a long time for one.
We had a blast and definitely plan to catch another one someday!!! As for now the season is getting closer! Go Brew Crew!!!
