| Daddy's Proudest Moment... |

| ...and Mommy's Proudest Moment :) |
Today Ryan took his first trip to U.S. Cellular Field to take part in the White Sox's fan appreciation day for season ticket holders. Luckily it wasn't too hot and Ryan seemed to enjoy his day out. He definitely did not like Southpaw - he screamed pretty quickly, and we were afraid our day would be over before it began. Fortunately, he was ready to take everything else in.
Ryan had his bottle in the White Sox conference room and had his photo taken with the World Series Trophy and then gave a short press conference. He strolled around the grounds, took a nap at home plate and sat nicely while mom and dad ate up the buffet and drank a beer.
We were excited to learn that Minnie Minoso and Ron Kittle were signing autographs. A few months ago Mommy (yes, you read that right, his mother) bought him a "White Sox 101" book - and it has a photo of Minnie in it and I thought it would be perfect to have his autograph in Ryan's little book. We waited in line for about 35 minutes and laughed when we first realized that Minnie and Ron were sitting just a few inches from each other at the same little table. As we approached the table, Minnie got up and left. He looks at least 100 years old, and I figured he must have been exhausted. Nevertheless, Ron Kittle was very nice and put a nice signature in Ryan's book. As we were leaving we spotted Minnie Minoso on a golf cart, so I stopped and asked him to sign Ryan's book. I had it open to the page where his picture is, he looked at it, skipped over it, and signed his name above Luke Appling's picture. I'm okay with it...safe to say we're never getting Luke Appling's autograph.
