Red Sox Game

We were at the Red Sox game last night. It was such a fun time. Thanks, Auntie Pam!!!

Jordan had a blast. He had made a big sign saying “GO SOX,” complete with Red Sox symbols in the Os and the center of the X. We held it up during “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and when Ortiz hit his home run. Then the Tigers tied it up and had runners in scoring position. Jordan and his friend held the sign up to encourage the pitcher. They were convinced by a group of elderly fans to stand on the ledge in front of the seating for the disabled which was where they were sitting. A couple of times that group even held the sign up higher than the boys could reach. The Sox got out of the jam. The woman seated in front of the kids told them to stay there because the sign was working. They did, shaking the sign and lifting it over their heads. The bases were loaded. Every pitch had everyone on the edge of their seats. Crawford gets up to bat….WALK OFF DOUBLE!!! Yay!!!


The woman in front of them tells the boys, “Keep that sign. It works!!” The elderly folks said, “See, you did it. They won.” Everyone was making a big deal of the enthusiastic young fans.

All the way home, when Jordan was asked, “Did you go to the game?” he would say “ “Yeah, we won it. We made them win.” People would smile indulgently.


Hey, who knows, maybe he was right. Encouragement has done greater things than that.



Who have you been encouraging lately?
