GT Baseball Details

Here are the details for the GT vs. FSU baseball game for Wolf Den 4 – Pack 797 – this Friday, 5/8/09:

- Have the kids in their “Class A” uniforms with shirts tucked in and scarves on (for when they are on TV)!
- Everyone should arrive by 5:00pm for the 7:00pm game.
- Meet at the Will Call Ticket Window which is by the main entrance to the stadium.
- The Will Call window will NOT be open, but I will be there at 5:00pm sharp with tickets in hand.
- We will tour the press box and meet our announcers – Wes Durham & Randy Carroll
- If the locker-room is descent, we may get to see where the players get ready for the game.
- We will then, as a group, walk out to the production truck and see the production team preparing for the telecast.
- We will grab a hot dog and drink and head to our seats before 7:00pm.
- During the game, I can walk one or two at a time out to the truck to see the production in action.
- The kids should bring their baseball gloves for foul balls and any autographs they might get.
- If they have any signs, they should be big, bold, colorful, and easy to read – the network is SportSouth (not Fox).
- We will designate an early inning for the kids to wave at a camera and be on TV.
- Game could last until 10:00pm, so everyone should feel free to leave at any time.

Some notes regarding the teams and the game:
- GT is 2nd in the Coastal Division in the ACC – 9th in the country
- for GT: Luke Murton is their big hitter right now – batting .394 with 15 HRs
- FSU is 1st in the Atlantic Division – 16th in the country
- for FSU: Mike McGee is their big hitter – batting .366 with 14 HRs
- This is a very good rivalry – should be a good game.

Here is who I have included:
Reynolds - one Cub, two adults
Arasin - one Cub, one adult
Anderson - one Cub, one other boy, one adult
Francis - one Cub, two adults
> We have a total of 12 tickets, so we have room for one more.

Parking is available on the street all around Russ Chandler Stadium.
With the 14th Street Bridge under construction, the directions you might look up may not work.
Basically, it is the corner of 5th and Fowler - http://gtalumni.org/map/
Traffic downtown on Fridays is pretty rough.

My cell number is 770-789-9622.

Den 4,
We are all set at GT for baseball tomorrow. Plan on getting to the stadium between 5 & 6pm, if you can. Please call me if you are running late: my cell is 770-789-9622.

There is a 40% chance of rain tomorrow with T-storms possible in the afternoon. In case it is raining, just call me and tell me that you are NOT coming. I will be there regardless, until the game is called for rain.

See you tomorrow - bring your glove and wear your Class A shirt!
Hammond
