Last Friday, July 31 was my 65th Birthday so the Nicewanger Tribe took Papaw to the Vic to watch our Baseball Tribe take on the Charlotte Knights. There was a whole bunch of activity going on downtown. Gen Con and the One Direction concert, along with the regular crowd of downtown fun seekers so there was plenty of excitement in the air- all because it was my birthday! Of course, the Boss led the evening along with my daughter Mary, Son-in-Law Pete, son Chris and the Dynamic Duo my beautiful grandkids, the Lady Bug and the Little Big Man. I consumed a foot long dog and some Tribe fries as part of my birthday feast. It was a simply gorgeous night and our hometown boys gave me a 5-1 victory to savor, and then to top the evening off the Vic launched a pulse pounding fireworks display after the game was over to honor my birthday. It was better than a key to the city. Honestly, I can’t think of any better way to celebrate any family event than a night of baseball at Victory Field with the Indianapolis Indians!
