Ideal for Evening on the South Side
by Greg Prince on 13 August 2008 7:21 pm 
Because it wasn’t enough to surprise the kid by flying him to Chicago and taking him to Wrigley Field in the afternoon, mom Sharon and dad Kevin doubled up the “WE’RE WHAT?” factor by taking Ross to new Comiskey Park (a.k.a. U.S. Cellular Field) for the White Sox game the same night…fireworks night, at that. Both Chicago teams won at home that day, which only seems fitting.
Pretty good 12th birthday, don’t you think? And pretty sharp shirt he celebrated it in. Yours is pretty fitting and available by clicking here.

Every year I plan that trip, and every year I don't scrounge up the cash for it.
Ross, you are one lucky boy.
A lot of frequent flier mileage goes a long way…or at least halfway across the country and back, I'm told.
Greg is, of course, correct. This trip was made possible by the frequent flier miles we had amassed. And this was the perfect use for them :)
lucky kid!
hokey smokes, can they be MY parents?
Someone tell the kid to open his eyes for photos though!
