FANFEST!! A baseball fan's idea of heaven!Major League Baseball holds this no-holds-barred fan-appreciation celebration every year, right before the All-Star Game, in the hosting city. Last year, Jim and Robert went to Fanfest in San Francisco, and came back raving about how much FUN they had. This year, we were in New York City at exactly the right time.
Imagine: games - prizes - mascots - photo opportunities - autographs - history - shopping - and everywhere baseball, baseball, baseball!As you can tell, we met some old friends there.
And made some new ones!Shirley and Delores from the All American Girls' Baseball League (as in- "A League Of Their Own") were there to sign autographs and talk about how much they love the game of baseball.
Jim brought some unusual baseball cards to Fanfest to see if he could get a value of their worth. Guess who got filmed for a segment on people consulting the appraisers!
We needed a little time to cool off between innings.
Then back to the fun!
Yep! That's Jim on Fanfest's version of Jeopardy. He knew all the answers... now, if he could only get his buzzer to ring-in properly!
(No worries. The prize was a CD of the Yankees highlights.)
Anyone recognize the guy signing an autograph for us?Rollie Fingers, in the flesh!
An exhausting, but VERY fun baseball adventure for the Beloves!
Anyone want to meet us at Fanfest in Anaheim in 2010?

Okay, I dont know about anyone else but WOW have the boys grown! For some reason they look so much older! I was expecting to see a picture of the Olympic softball player Jennie Finch (Jim :)).
