Luke bought us tickets to a local fundraiser that brought Cubs players to town. We were very excited to meet and get autographs from Ross and Schwarber and see Sandberg again. Nate made the trip down and we got to our table with so much anticipation. We had a great time shopping at the silent auction. I may have tried on the championship ring!
We kill it at selfies! 🙂
I didn’t realize how much I missed baseball till we all burst out in Go Cubs, Go!
As the night wore on, it became quite clear that there would be no meet and greet time with the players.
This was on extreme zoom…
These really were the best pics we could get of them.
Between activities we tried to be some of the lucky few who got pics with them. But it didn’t happen for us. Until I had to make a bathroom trip. Look who followed me!
Once I realized that Ross was behind me, I quickly got my camera out and snapped away! I know, you’re jealous. 🙂 Nicki did get a formal pic with him (along with an apology for covering her camera with his hand as he walked by our table!) when she bought a painting of him that was done live while we were there. That was a fun moment, too!
In spite of the disappointment of not getting autographs and pics, it was a pleasant evening of loud music, open bar and some of my favorite people with me.
