Saturday I went to the Indians game for my soon-to-be brother in law's bachelor party. I was excited to go to the game seeing as Cleveland brought back Jim Thome, a guy who I spent years watching growing up in the 90s. We sat out in the bleacher section in left field, here's a view from my seat:
The stadium announced it was Thome's birthday that day as well, and I thought how cool it would be for him to hit a home run on his birthday in his return to the Tribe. Then in the bottom of the 6th Thome sent one out towards the bleachers in left, it was literally heading right towards my face! Thome's 602nd career home run eventually landed a few rows in front of me and the place went nuts!The next day I went online to check out the video highlights of the game, and sure enough I spotted myself in the stands as Mr. Thome's bomb went out of the park. Cleveland won the game 8-7, it had been about 6 years since I've seen them win in person, and it was an awesome experience.
