When "the girl" was going through her tomboy phase, hating dresses, climbing trees and insisting upon wearing Sonic Rush shirts, I insisted on an outing with her to see a game with the Wilmington NC Sharks.* Nothing fancy.
I just wanted her to have the experience of getting her own foul ball and getting it autographed. Plus, she's a mathematics wizard so that part of the game got her interested. Although she insists that statistics isn't "true" math. (My favorite area in mathematics.)
She wasn't a bit shy about it. She loved her granddaddy and he her. So, it was quite a bonding experience for them. Even though in the photo of her with the pitcher signing the ball, she has her back turned, it's one of my favorites because of that generational memory.
