Dbacks Mexico Trip March 5-6 2009

So if you know me well, you know that i also work part time for the dbacks, I was chosen to go with the team to Mexico for an exhibition game against the WBC Mexico team in Hermosillo, Sonora (about 2 hours south of the border) So we left on Thursday after noon from phoenix to Hermosillo got in and got picked up by our driver which after he took us to the executive terminal were team president derrick hall was at. He saw me and like the shirt that i was wearing was introduce by my boss and he was really excited for us to be there after that we got back in to our van and was escorted by police to the government offices where Mr. Hall was presented with an award from officials from the town. We were then taken to our hotel to freshen up for dinner, at first i thought i was gonna share a room with my co-worker Naz, but then i was handed my own key to my room, i was shocked because this was no normal hotel, it was really nice! We had dinner at a really nice restaurant called "Sonoran Steak" dinner was really good, we had all the drinks we wanted and a really good appetizer, during dinner i got to meet some ppl with the dbacks organization that were present and got to connect with them, i had a huge rib eye steak for dinner it was Bomb. We then headed back to our hotel for the evening. The following morning we had breakfast and headed for the stadium, once we got to the stadium we loaded our bags onto the team truck which had all the team luggage and such, Got to walk in to the team clubhouse and talk to a few players that i know and man they are treat really well, so as ppl were coming in to the stadium we handed out team schedules and discount coupons so ppl can come support the team during the season! After that we walked around the stadium and gave kids dbacks pom poms, it was funny cuz girls were stopping us to take pics with them, they thought we were famous, During the 5th inning we waited in the dbacks dugout to go out onto the warning track and throw out squishy balls, now that was insane, we did that also during the 7th inning but on the Mexican team side! The bulk of our work was done we got to enjoy the rest of the game and eat some good tacos! Once the game was over we loaded up on the 2 different buses, one for the players and the other for the coaches and staff. Once we were ready, both buses were escorted from the ballpark to the airport, check through security and loaded the team charter plane back to Tucson the flight was quick had a burger on the way back and sat next to Miguel Quintana (Spanish radio announcer for the dbacks) never been on a plane like that first class seats everywhere and the recline pretty sweet! Once we landed we went through customs and got on a charter bus back to Tucson Electric Park and got our bags and came back to chase field where my cars was at! overall this trip tops out at the top was one of my best i will never forget it! I cannot believe i work for a Professional Sports Team and i feel really honored to be allowed to go on a trip like this!
