Cal Ripken Jr.

Saturday, the Tri-Star card show held its annual card show in San Francisco. The headliner for autographs was Cal Ripken Jr. We have been planning to attend this card show since we moved out here. Matt, the huge baseball fan that he is, was super excited to get Cal's autograph. It was also Brody's very first baseball card show. I am sure we have many more in our future.

Cow Palace the venue for the card show...

Daddy showing Brody around the card show...




We bought Brody some inexpensive cards to play with as we walked through the show. Matt was busy teaching Brody the ropes on how to handle cards... Brody just wanted to stack them.

Mommy: Brody what do you have?
Brody: a card... Look!


Brody this is how you hold the cards...
make sure they do not fall out...
make sure they do not get bent...



The main attraction Cal Ripken Jr.

We had to wait several hours to meet and get his autograph. It was worth it. Cal was very sincere and he really liked Brody.

Matt and his autographed baseball...


What a great picture...
aside from the fact that B-man is screaming his head off at Cal Ripken Jr.


Cal was trying to help us calm Brody down. He wanted to give him a baseball from his bag, but sadly (sniff sniff) he already gave them all away earlier. Oh well, at least we have these pictures and our very own autographed ball to remember this day!

a tired little noodle...
