Posts: 695 (26-Jun-07 04:53:43) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Tags : None I've blogged about this in my myspace blog for the 10th Inning Stretch, for those who haven't read though, here it goes. I have a dear friend whose daughter has epilepsy. It occurred to me that there is a way in which I could help. I decided that I'd ask everyone who drinks with me before and after games to contribute a quarter for every beer they have with me. Thus far me and friends have raised $19.50. I am going to keep this going through the end of the season and then cut a check to the National Epilepsy Foundation on behalf of the 10th Inning Stretch. So anyone that wants to stop by and drink beer and help a good cause is more than welcome to stop on by.

I will be there on the 7th. I will have a few with ya. We can either cry about Goli leaving or be happy he is staying.

Just take a left at the charcoal bin, and I park 6 spots in. Come on by before or after the game. I'm off from work that day, so I should be there by 4 pm. Stop on by. Let's hope Goli is coming back and with a healthier shoulder.

Probably not grilling barring some sort of meterological miracle. My guess is, they'll open the lot. Next the city of St. Paul Parks and Rec. will gladly accept my $6 donation to park my car in my usual spot. We'll sit in my car, munch on chips and drink beer. The gates will open at 6 pm, we'll get our lunchboxes, good for keeping baseball cards and ticket stubs in BTW. The Saints will give us every opportunity to buy souvenirs, food and beverage, and once the sales are dwindling they will announce to the hundreds assembled that the game has been called off. Oops does that sound bitter? We wouldn't want to trust the 90% chance of rain and call the game at about 4 pm so we can make alternative plans, would we? I know there is an off chance that there could be a 2-3 hour window of clear weather but I can't imagine the OF would drain in time to get a game going and complete the necessary 4 1/2 innings.

Following on the heels of raising money for the Epilepsy Foundation last year, we will be raising money this year to help raise Autism awareness and try to find a cure. First day will be Sunday May 4, featuring Pika, Faribault's biggest 4 pawed Saints fan. See ya there!!! www.10thinningstretch.blogspot.com

Besides midway keeps some caffeinated around most of the time (for his drive home to So. MN). He might be able to share some of that. ...then again... that's really up to him to say.

Posts: 482 (22-May-08 00:16:33) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	OK folks, here's the deal. I'm going to FINALLY make new 10th Inning Stretch T-Shirts. They are going to be like the last ones except on the back it'll say "Tailgating with a purpose", and a piggy bank outline with "Quarters for a Cure" in the middle of it. What I am trying to decide now is how many shirts I should order. So please post here on how many you'd buy (going to cost somewhere between $12-$14), and what size(s) you'd like. Thanks. www.10thinningstretch.blogspot.com

If it's ready by this weekend I will pick it up when I arrive at Midway before the game Saturday. If the shirts aren't ready by Saturday, I'll pay extra to have you send one to me.

If Terri comes up in August, I can give her the shirt to bring back home to give to you. www.10thinningstretch.blogspot.com
