As many of you know I was fortunate enough to attend Saturday's World Series game. It was incredible! I can't begin to explain how crazy it was at the stadium. Just looking at the sign that said "Welcome to the World Series" gave me chills!
If you want to see all of my pictures from the game you can go here (warning...there are a lot of pictures):

On Friday night I made a sign that I thought had a pretty good chance of making it on TV. I spent a lot of time on this sign and was fairly proud of it. Most of the original sign can be seen in the following picture:
On Saturday, right before we left I decided to write on the other side "Who needs Cowboys when we have Rangers?" I spent about 2 minutes working on it. Who knew it would be such a hit (pun totally intended)! Here's the prize winning sign:
As soon as we got to the park people kept asking to take a picture of the sign. We were videoed by MLB Network, the Dallas NBC affiliate and about.com. The sign was on the jumbo-tron and at least 500 people asked if they could take a picture of my sign. On the way home a writer for the New York Times had quoted it in an article!
Overall I have to say it was probably the coolest one day event of my life. I'm a HUGE Ranger fan and never dreamed I would get to see MY team in the World Series! It was a wonderful experience to share with my Dad!
If you see me eating Peanut Butter sandwiches all month don't be alarmed...I spent a small fortune at the gift shop...but it was worth every penny!
