Kim and I are going to see the Durham Bulls take on the Norfolk Tides today. Before I go to the Bulls games, I like to check out and see if there are any players I know that are going to be there tonight. On the Norfolk Tides roster is none other than Esteban Yan. Former pitcher for the DRays, Braves, Orioles, and a few other teams; he's been signed (again) by the Baltimore Orioles to a minor league contract after a year in Japan last season.
There's a player for the Bulls this season by the name of Fernando Perez. You've probably never heard of him, and might not ever hear from him. He's batting a measley .273 on the season. He plays outfield and is fast and has a pretty good arm, but doesn't seem to hit very well...except when Kim and I go to the games. He is Kim's favorite player for the season and in the 4 games we've attended he's batting .400 with 2 doubles, a triple, his only HR, 4 RBI, and 3 runs. I'd say we're a nice little good luck charm (it's probably just Kimberly though).
Also, tonight is $1 hotdog, fries, and popcorn night. I can't wait!

This Perez kid is really good. This is his fourth season in the pros, maybe he's still adjusting to AAA baseball. You should check his stats and awards from the '05 and '06 seasons. Pretty good performance from Perez last night. He reached base 3 times and scored a run. He also got his 20th stolen base of the year. That's impressive. The kid also went to Columbia University. Not too shabby.
