Saturday night
with Matt, Marc, and Erik
Jacksonville, FL
Matt tried to beat the Baseball Trip speed pitch record while the rest of us hung out with Justin Bieber.

Matt might have placed in his recent Ironman competition but he's going to need more work to beat the big boys in speed pitch. 56 MPH is harder to beat than you'd think!
Erik fell short again.
Bieber was hopeful though.

I loved the playground where you could actually see the game. Such a big improvement over the playground at the Cyclones park.
One of my favorite pics from the trip.

The Jaguars stadium loomed menacingly beyond the outfield wall.
Something about this marker made me happy.
After being shutout of a picture cutout opportunity in Miami the previous night, Erik was back.
That's a relaxed crew.
Because after the game, it was Dave Matthews Tribute Band time! Erik found one of the A-Rod (he played for Jacksonville back in the day) bobble heads and it was time to party.

Alex was upset that we wouldn't let him watch the band.
Much happier.

At first the people around us were excited that we were part of their crew. "You going to see them in West Palm?" I was asked. I couldn't help myself and bragged about seeing the DMB back in '92. The woman I mentioned it to didn't even know if she should be impressed or not and had to ask a friend. He replied that, yes, she should be impressed. I felt dirty.
A-Rod wreaked havoc. This guy was so engrossed in the tribute band's DMB jamz that he didn't even notice.
Thirsty.
I wonder if A-Rod was tagged when this picture was posted on one of their Facebook pages.
Two's Across the Board!
Dancing to the Dave Matthews Cover Band - it was fun but definitely no REO Speedwagon.
