The Tightest Pants in MLB

June 2nd, 2008 · 4 Comments


Alfonso Soriano, Wrigley Field, Chicago

You heard it here. Soriano, left field, from the bleacher seats. Kate and I both agree, he’s got the tightest pants ever. The thing I didn’t realize about Soriano is the level of interaction he has with the fans in the bleachers. He turns around a lot and acknowledges them and makes hand signals and throws a lot of balls into the stands. Makes up for that ball he dropped right in front of us. Oh, and some other good plays and the home run he made also make up for that. Cubs beat the Rockies 5-3 and swept them in the series. It was also their first undefeated homestand of at least seven games since 1970.

Thanks to Paul Baker and Kate for inviting me to the game. It was a great way to get the Summer of Rachelle started off on the right foot.

Oh, and walking to the field I saw this church on Addison:

On Memorial Day I made my frist trip to Wrigley Field with Dallas, Killian and Liz to see the Cubs vs. Astros in what was one of the most fun baseball games that I’ve ever been to. And I don’t mean the action on the field. All I’ve got to say is that it’s probably a good idea to try to eat something before you get to the bleachers at 2 p.m. or else you’re going to be pretty wasted and acting all goofy by the time you get to your friends’ barbecue after the game! And you might wake up the next morning wondering how all those photos of you doing retarded things got on your camera. But anyway, the Cubs won, Killian taught me the correct way to cheer for Alou, and the rain ended up not being too bad. Lots of fun!
