The boys and I recently experienced an American tradition. It is one that Fathers and Sons have been sharing together for over 100 years, going to a baseball game. We spent a Monday evening with our town's own, the Tucson Toros.

The friendly ticket takers greeted us enthusiastically to the game and we stepped into the historic Hi Corbett Field to start our evening. Of course, no baseball experience would be the same without concessions. We were not disappointed to see that it was "Retro" night and staple baseball cuisine prices had been rolled back.

Loaded up with 50 cent hot dogs, diet Pepsi and popcorn; we made our way to our seats. They were located right behind home plate in the elevated bleachers by the press box. We savored our meal and enjoyed the amped up pre-game activities set to vintage 70's songs. The team's signature mascot, Tuffy the Torro, made his rounds and Zane managed to take a photo with him. Having had a memorable beginning, we knew that we would enjoy the game as the umpire yelled "Play Ball!"

This weeks prize is four Tucson Torros tickets to the August 28 game against the Edmonton Capitals, a $25 gift certificate to Texas Roadhouse on Wilmot Road,  and one Tucson Newspapers Summer Golf Card (buy one Greens Fee and golf cart rental and receive one greens fee and golf cart rental free at participating Tucson and Southern Arizona golf courses.)
