Honorary Bat Girl for the Houston Astros
Erik nominated me to be the Astros Honorary Bat Girl a few months back and all my friends and family got to vote daily for me. Turns out, I won the contest and will get to go out on the field during the May 8th, Mother's Day, game and even throw out the first pitch! The boys have been coaching me on my pitching techniques and I'm proud to say, I think I can get it across the plate without bouncing it. I only have one throw to prove myself! LOL! This contest was for breast cancer survivors and fighters who continue to go to bat against breast cancer every day. I'm one of the lucky ones who seems to be winning the fight. I hope to represent my fellow survivors and fighters well. The MLB had an article about me being the winner as did the Astros site. I was interviewed by KSBJ for a radio segment to be aired Friday, May 6th. And last I heard the Humble Observer wants to interview me. It's my 1 minute of fame. I'm so nervous and excited!
