Astros vs Phillies - 09/05/09
On this page: Berkman, Bourn, Pence, and Valverde
I don't think I've ever actually drawn Valverde before! I especially wanted to get a bit of his ritualistic pitching style. Does he have OCD or is that just a pitcher thing? lol
And it's true. Brad Lidge is our favorite "Close-er" ever. Mom and I shall never complain about how close the Astros relief like to make the games ever again.
Meanwhile, the greatest gift I could ever get (and had been waiting for since Spring Training!)...
And all it took was a poster telling him it was my birthday and all I wanted was a photo with him (and for the Astros to win of course!)
It could stand to be a clearer photo but who's going to complain when they finally get what they want?!
Thanks to all the fans who saw my poster and wished me a happy birthday and to the guys working at the creamery near Hunter's Lodge for being friendly and a blast! Not to mention flattering (sort of?) by thinking I was 17 lol
And to help celebrate, here's a shot after the winning RBIs by Kaz...
FYI; I can't turn my hat into a rally-cap. All the pins on it make it impossible. Doh!
Next game should be the last home game of the season though I wouldn't mind going to Sept 12's and getting the Valverde bobblehead. But I doubt I'll be able to make it.
