A Pre-Game Menu Suggestion

2008-07-13T09:02:00.004-04:00

I don't advise eating cards before coming to the park.....
Unless you find your card in there.

Thomas was serious he wanted to learn how to cough up cards. We both had a drink of water shortly after this lesson.

Don't know how he did it, but it was pretty cool!

The DeYoung family out for a magical evening.

Field of Dreams

Hit a bag, win the prizes in it........that invitation to all fans tonight had people lined up from the infield all the way out past right field, and near the parking lot! But why not?? Remember, you never know what you're gonna get.

One lucky Dad won a sweet BMX-type bicycle- all decked out! Many won gift certificates, memorabilia, Whitecaps shirts etc.

Looking at this great group,
you must have been winners in your league!!!
Some of us enjoyed the 20 oz beers for $2 on "Thrifty Thursday".
Can you pick out which ones?

Ben, practicing the weekend pose. (BTW- Ben is in the background.)

This Famous Chicken guy is an absolute nut - he had everyone rolling!

Suggestion: Do not take your own snapshots.

A nearby fan took this photo for us. Great Shot!

President Paul Schweitzer (glasses in back) gave me permission to entertain the team, and even obliged to gather the crew for a snapshot.

The shots taken for Star Wars Night courtesy of the best 8-year-old photographer I know- Alex Niedzwiecki - who earned a light saber for the evening's work.

Apparently, these Star Wars characters know "Jedi Authority" when they see it, and slid into the pic with Alex- ruler of all that is good, and the Force......and stuff like that.

Star Wars Night Fun...Even for Big Kids....

Matthew Sutherland from 314 Consulting-Expediting on hand to show off his terrific Red Wing hat. Matthew was at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals, while the rest of us were watching on TV.

What a great night at the ballpark! Even a 75 minute rain delay before the game couldn't keep the fun spilling out of everyone. And the crowd was one of the biggest of the year- looked like about 10,000 fans!

Even on a Friday....

...after an entire week of work, happiness abounds with the team at Wolverine Construction. Great to meet all of you!

The Suite Life

Fans at the Borculo Polishing suite agreed to smile simultaneously for this pic. A perfect display of team effort, or just plain luck.

Bailey and the Clan

Here we are doing some cool stuff together just before game time.

Terry Buschert showing off a card he signed. Even the shadow on his shirt seems impressed!

Met a former "International Brotherhood of Magicians" member, Tim Hayes. He works as VP of Sales/Marketing at Kodiak Construction, a long-time sponsor of the Whitecaps. Tim recalled a few of his own magical memories like it was yesterday.

Hey, look everybody... it's "The Alpine Baptist Church Crew!"

2008-06-01T14:31:00.000-04:00

Dropped by to see Lori Reed & JoAnne Marcus at the Kraft Foods Suite. They asked if there was a Magicbuzz sandwich yet, and I had to tell them the bad news. As you can see, they were crushed.

Heather and Pete visited the ballpark with their friends from Kent Foundry, and were drinking from dark glass bottles. Root beer, I think.

The VanderYachts visited while at their Gordon Food Service party. Here's Nicole and her sister Kaitlin with Mom and Dad.

A View from the Seats

Thought I'd snap a few shots and add them while strolling around. The premiere begins with my new friend Ryan Freed, along with some guy he calls Dad, and some other guy trying to mooch some popcorn off them (I think it was Ryan's Grandpa).

It was the first trip to the ballpark for these guys and they were just settling in when we met. Great to meet you guys!

There's always a first post....and here it is!

I'm very exited to announce I'll be performing this year during West Michigan Whitecaps games at Fifth Third Ballpark- in and around the stands, along the concourse and in the skyboxes. I may even try a few things on the field as well. You can view the dates I am tentatively scheduled to appear HERE.

If you are headed to a game, let me know! I'd love to meet up with you and hear what fun things are going on in your life. And who knows...maybe we'll even have time for a little magic!

Don't be afraid to ....uh......FLAG ME DOWN!
