It’s 5:00 PM on a Wednesday…
In Arizona
You would never think we were in Arizona today though… it
hailed. Wowzer! But it didn’t stop The Fancave 30. We had stuff to accomplish and
honestly, I don’t think that the weather would have phased any of us anyways. We are all in such shock over our past few days, that rain, sun, snow… what’s the
difference? There is none!
So, today we split up into groups of ten and went to three
different spring training sites. My
crew headed off to Goodyear, home of the Indians and the Reds, while the two
other crews headed to Surprise and Salt River. It was neat being in a smaller group because we got to know
more about the people we were with, both finalists and Fancave staff. It was really neat being at Goodyear
and seeing their facilities. Very
nice for spring training if you ask me.
There weren’t many players on the fields because of the weather but we
were lucky enough to meet Jay Bruce and film a skit with him. He was such a good sport! We did rapid fire trivia, where we ran
up to him one by one and asked a quick one word answer question for him to
answer. His answers were pretty
hilarious. I asked him what round
he would pick himself in fantasy baseball and he had the perfect answer “first”. Obviously! When asked what Disney princess he would date, he said The
Little Mermaid. Haha. Good answer…
she is my favorite too. We got to
take pictures with him which was awesome to have for the memories. I enjoyed meeting him and now have a tiny reason to
cheer for the Reds, well maybe just Jay Bruce.
We then split up into teams of five and did a few challenges
with our teams in which we filmed ourselves completing tasks that were given to
us. Hopefully I will be able to
share those videos soon with my fan base, (or mom, dad and friends;) who read
my blog. We were sent out on our own with a
camera and had 45 minutes to complete it.
I am psyched about our teams end result and can’t wait to see it… hoping
they show them tonight at our event.
It was exciting to work under pressure and of course our free flowing
adrenaline came in handy.
We then headed back to the hotel and had some downtime. It was nice to all just hangout in a
room and get to know each other better.
It’s really neat to just chill out with people whom you don’t know much
about, yet you have so much in common.
We got to hear the stories of what the other finalists did today at the other parks. One of the finalists, Angela
is a Royals fan and she definitely had the day of her life. Got to meet some of the Royals and even
got the hat off George Brett’s head.
I mean… that is cool! More
like unbelievable and amazing!!
Been hard to grasp all of the details but I am trying so
that I can remember this forever and update folks who are interested in my
adventures. Getting ready to go
bowling at Lucky Strike with everyone.
I am feeling pretty good about my bowling skills… Or maybe just in
comparison to my karaoke skills, my bowling skills are looking pretty
good.
One last fun video to watch. Here is a montage that was put together last night of all of
our submission videos. I could
watch it a million times. It’s so
fun to watch the videos again now that we have met each other! Check it out: http://mlbfancave.mlb.com/fancave/video.jsp?content_id=25606349&topic_id=19224580&fbid=c7kgNj1hMD_
Time to start stretching so I can be on my bowling game
tonight. More to come…
