Eli and Lehr went to the make-up Cubs/Braves game this afternoon. Due to storms last night, the game was postponed until 1PM today. Lehr said the stands were filled with Cubs fans, making it more like a Cubs home game than an Atlanta one, but we've noticed that in years past also. (Cubs fans spread far and wide!) Eli had a blast, calling out to some of the players and holding his glove high to catch a foul ball. Though he wore his Derrek Lee jersey shirt, Lehr said he called out to the catcher ("Geee-oooooohhh!!) more than anything. Somewhere around the 5th inning, the guys went upstairs to the kids area so Eli could run the bases and practice pitching. There was almost no wait, so Eli got in plenty of runs. The staff enjoyed him so much that they ran with him most of the time. The four of us (and Uncle D) will attend tomorrow night's game for (hopefully) a repeat win. (More pictures here.)
