Part of our routine when we arrive at a Florida State League game is for Colin to patrol the grandstands along the outfields, looking for baseballs. Not only does it provide an instant souvenir, but it keeps us in supply for team-signed baseballs.
Case in point: Our first trip to Bright House Field in Clearwater, where the Jupiter Hammerheads. the FSL affiliate of the Florida Marlins, took on the Clearwater Threshers. It took Colin all of 10 minutes to find a ball, even if it meant summoning up the courage to crash through a spider web to get it.
Like any good hound, he immediately put his new-found treasure to work, getting 22 Hammerheads to sign it:
Corey Madden, Isaac Galloway, Kyle Gunderson, Steven Cishek and Daniel Pertusati;
Jose Ceballos, Johnny Dorn, Jake Smolinksi, Paul Gran, Kevin Mattison and Hunter Mense;
Jeremy Synan, Ryan Keady, Jhan Martinez, Jonathan Fulton and unidentified; and
Peter Andrelczyk, Andy Loomis, Steve Watson, Robert Taylor, Ben Lasater and Emilio Ontiveros.
