Here is Jack at U.S. Cellular Field, where we saw an outstanding game between the Chicago White Sox, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The stadium is nice, and big, and set up well for fans, with the exception that you only have access to the level where you have purchased tickets... meaning, that with 3rd deck seats, we weren't going to get to see the whole thing. Thank goodness they have friendly guys working at Guest Services. After explaining our adventure, they not only gave us a pass to get to see any level of the park, but they also had hats, posters, candy, and tattoos for the kids. If we were going to rate parks on friendly staff, this one would be the hands-down winner! 
We took our chance, and headed for the field. There was no batting practice, but the boys had fun watching some of the Sox players warm up. They were very friendly, waving and smiling at the fans. They threw up a few balls, and then signed a few autographs. Robert got his hat signed by Octavio Dotel, who, incidentally, used to pitch for the A's! He served as a middle-reliever during the game, and didn't give up any hits.
The game was exciting, with a score of 6-6 in the 2nd inning, and more excitement to come! The best part was watching our former A -Jermaine Dye hit two home runs, one a grand slam! We also saw Nick Swisher and A.J. Pierzynski. It felt like an A's game!No rest for the Belove Clan. Off to Milwaukee!
