We headed to practice on Wednesday and the bullpen definitely remembered us. We are ladies that leave a lasting impression I guess. We were standing along the fence and when the bullpen came running by... they were all definitely giving us looks and grins . Although they thought we couldn't hear it... we definitely heard a "Well Looky There" as they went by. Flo saw me and gave us a friendly "Good Morning".
Tyler was lagging behind the rest of the group. He saw April and was just too shy to say anything. April told him "Good Morning", he said "Hi" buried is head and ran away.
Later Joe Mather came out for batting practice... he too noticed us and said "Good morning, ladies, how are you today"... at which time in total girly girl stereo we all tilted our heads to one side and said "Good!" I guess we are pretty unforgettable.
Despite being girly and very interested in the "puppies" so to speak, all four of us girls know our baseball and don't have lots of patience with those who don't... especially the very obvious and/or basic . At practice that day Albert Pujols was approximately 30 feet from us playing first base for some fielding practice. A guy behind us then said, "Oh is Albert not coming out today!" Hello, he was 30 feet from us, granted he had on a jacket instead of a jersey so you could not see "Pujols 5" on his back, but he is Albert Pujols... future Hall of Famer, MVP, perhaps the biggest star in the game today, and has been a Cardinal his entire career... how can you NOT recognize him! Okay, so maybe you don't recognize Troy Glaus the new third baseman... he is new to the team, but Albert come on. Later that day at the game we heard another fan (Timmy's Dad) ask "Is Tony LaRussa here?", to which we replied "Ah no, Tony left to join the circus... where do you think he is, dingbat!"

I love it! When I interviewed to be a bat girl of my university's baseball team, my group was asked this complex question: "Name three teams in the Big 12." One girl replied with Bowling Green or some other tiny school like that saying, "Oh, I only know the names of the teams from the schedule on the side of my gas station cup." Stand proud, Jano and friends, for us women who know baseball!
