[QUOTE="TheFranchise, post: 6379746, member: 40113"] So this past Thursday me and a few other Marines apart of the Wounded Warrior Battalion were flown to Arizona to watch three Spring Training Baseball games. We landed on Thursday and went directly to the stadium to watch the Giants vs Angels. The next day, Friday, we went to the Giants vs White Sox. We were taken onto the field during batting practice and just chilled and talked with players. I met Nick Swisher (CWS) personally and had him sign a few things. Very cool guy. Also met the owner of the Giants. Later that night we were taken out to dinner at a Steak House by...you wont believe this....Barry Zito (Cy Young Winner), Jake Peavy (Cy Young Winner), Randy Wynn, Dave Roberts, Rich Aurilia and a few others. It was a blast! Just sitting there eating dinner and talking with MLB players was awesome! Once in a lifetime experience! It felt like we have known eachother for years - it was cool. Not sure how many people here watch or keep up with Baseball, but if you do, you know who these players are and what an opportunity this was for us. I will get pictures here in a few days!!! This was also part of Barry Zitos and USAA group called STRIKEOUTS FOR TROOPS. [url]www.strikeoutsfortroops.com[/url] [url]www.BarryZito.com[/url] Cody CPL/USMC [/QUOTE]
