We left Houston early yesterday (Sat 4/12) morning and stopped by Steve and Pam Bell's home in Tucker, Texas. It's a very beautiful home in the middle of nowhere ... just the way they like it.
We stopped in Plano to see our friend Joan Pennella.
We arrived in Dallas (actually Mckinney) late yesterday and stayed with our friends, Ted and Pat Baumgartner.
Onto the game. We heard nightmarish stories about the traffic at the Texas Rangers stadium primarily due to the construction of the new Cowboys stadium. Not true. Easy in; easy out! We did, however, have the worst ticket seller ever. It took him 20 minutes to figure out how to use the computer to get our tickets. We ended up with great seats ... 4 rows from the field behind homeplate.
It was a gorgeous day and a great game, too! Toronto won 5-4 in 10 innings. An aside --- the Star Spangled Banner was sung by kids from the Levine Academy, a Jewish Middle School; which was only fitting since the Rangers' starting pitcher was Scott Feldman. For you Reds' fans, Josh Hamilton (ex-Red) hit a homerun and made several nice plays in right field.

The hotdog --- I rated mine a "6", good, but nothing special. Nancy rated hers a "3" -- it was cold, as was the Coors Light!
