Before Beck spent summers coaching for the Cape Cod Baseball League, he spent one summer with the Great Lakes League coaching the Stark County Terriers. One of his pitchers, Burke Badenhop, now plays for the Florida Marlins and was in San Diego this past weekend. So, we headed down to Petco Park for Tyler's first baseball game.
What a great day! Tyler slept through the entire game - with a feeding break during the 7th and 8th innings. Of course Burke pitched during those 2 innings, but fortunately Beck was able to see him and we visited for a few minutes after the game.
The hospitality at Petco Park was top notch. Members of the staff were drawn to the tiny baby in Beck's arms and showered him with a San Diego Padres hat, "my first visit to Petco Park" button, temporary tattoos and a back-office where I was able to feed Tyler in peace. They didn't even mind that we were there to see a Marlins player.
