July 9, 201511 yr Author There is a pretty decent chance that I will be in attendance for the Derby and the All-Star Game. Crossing my fingers.
July 9, 201511 yr I'll be in attendance for the HR Derby. I'm probably most excited about Marlana Van Hoose singing the National Anthem. Is she the young blind girl? If so, she's sang down at GABP before and she's incredible.
July 9, 201511 yr Is she the young blind girl? If so, she's sang down at GABP before and she's incredible. Yes. I believe she has cerebral palsy & was born blind. I think she's also from KY. So far, I've seen her sing the Anthem several different times on TV. She sang twice at Rupp, once at GABP, and she also sang the National Anthem at Game 5 (I think?) of the NBA Finals. She is incredibly talented. Gives me chills each time I listen to her.
July 9, 201511 yr .... Was at GABP for a meeting today and the conversation came up as to whether or not we'll see a ball in the river for only the 2nd time ever on Monday night. Dunn hit one over the batters eye in CF before the riverboat was up there ( ), but no ball has left the stadium since. Could well happen on Monday night. Looking forward to it. Where did the one Juan Francisco hit end up at? I know it left the stadium, but don't remember if it made it to the river or not.
July 9, 201511 yr Where did the one Juan Francisco hit end up at? I know it left the stadium, but don't remember if it made it to the river or not. I had always thought at least a few had made the river, shocked that is just the one by Dunn.
July 9, 201511 yr Is that an urban legend that they found the ball on a piece of driftwood floating in the river? If my memory is correct, I think that ball either made it to the bank or the landing before the river.

July 10, 201511 yr Rain.... Probably. That's certainly the trend of the season. Rain delays at about 25% of the home games.

July 10, 201511 yr I remember Juan Francisco hitting one out of the park a couple years ago. This hasn't been updated. Yeah. It should be on the list for sure.
July 11, 201511 yr NWO's forecast doesn't look too good for Monday. What happens if this thing is rained out? Going to be really bummed if it is.
