Saturday was opening day for Shaker Heights Little League, of which Graham is one of the co-commissioners. This year, Skipper, the mascot of the Lake County Captains, was slated to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at some of the opening day games. And when the call came asking if Addy wanted to be Skipper's official ambassador to the games, well, it was an easy answer. Here's Skipper (well, his driver) parking in our driveway after completing their duties at the first game. Cora and I didn't go to that one, we waited at the field across from our house. Not every day you get a minor league mascot to park at your house :)
Walking Skipper over to the field.
And showing him the way to the mound. Addy was so, so, so excited.
And so at this point, after reflecting on Addy's excitement, it's seems to appropriate to remark on Cora's, shall we say, lack of excitement about Skipper. The poor kid was petrified of him. From the moment he got out of the car and started walking toward us, she clung to me. There was screaming, there were tears, there was shouting "Daddy, Addy" because I think she feared that Skipper was going to eat them or something. This was not Cora's way to start a Saturday morning.
Regardless, we stuck out a few more minutes and got these shots.
