Got to hang out with mom and dad last night for the first time since I told dad about this. Was great! Big feed, kids love to visit them and stayed for a sleepover at cottage. Freddie was a tired dude. Tried to watch ALCS game with him on couch but he was tired. Moved him in to mom and dad's big bed with game on in there, set up on pillows relaxing with hands crossed behind his head. "This is AWESOME" he says. :)
So dad and I had a chat. We're going, just not sure where yet. Going to two games. Good thing is, games 1 and 2 can't be too far, either Milwaukee or St. Louis. Both are do-able in our time frame. I've never been to either place nor likely to for any other reason than this trip so neat!
AL is a different story. Texas Rangers I like, but with our timeline it's too far to be manageable. So let's go Tigers. (Too bad Veralander was less than stellar last night). Dad's a big fan of Jim Leyland.
So the plan is this. If the Rangers advance, we'll do games 1 and 2 in the NL team's park. If the Tigers win (more fun!) we'll do game 2 in Milwaukee or St. Louis and game 3 in Detroit.
Wish I could book flights and tickets now but can't. Getting all my $ back from Stubhub. Small consolation is that tickets for all of these teams are quite a bit cheaper than Phillies or Yankees. We'll see!
