Your First Mets Game!

Dearest Baby Girl,

I predicted it....you are already at your first Major League baseball game and may I say you are already making quite a fashion statement.  Your Daddy has loved the Mets ever since he was in high school living in Georgia.  Once a year he and Poppa would go to a Mets game in Atlanta when the Mets played the Braves.  One year your very persuasive Daddy talked your Poppa into painting his face blue and orange and going to the game together.

I told your Daddy then...."always remember how much your Dad loves you, because believe me he would never paint his face and go out in public for me!"

Your Daddy painted his bedroom Mets Orange and painted the Mets logo on his wall.  Poppa was a little reluctant to have an orange bedroom but I assured him that any color can be painted over with several coats of paint.

 You can relax little darling, I'm pretty sure Mommy won't let Daddy paint your room Orange and Blue.  I see purple and polka dots in your future.

I asked your Mommy if you got excited and started kicking during the game.  She said you were very active with all the noise and crowds. 




When I was a little girl.  I used to watch baseball on television with my Daddy.  I always cheered for the teams he wanted to win .  It was a sweet time that I still remember.   ( Don't tell your Daddy but back in the day we were Yankee fans...I saw Mickey Mantel , Yogi Berra , Roger Maris and some of the old baseball greats.  My daddy took me to my first major league game.)

Your family is very sports minded so little princess it won't surprise me if you grow up to be an athlete or cheerleader.  Just know that your Diva and Poppa  will always be your greatest cheerleader.
