Awesome Andy Tracy story
Posted: Sat Apr 22, 2006 12:18 am
After a few beers tonight, a friend and I headed to Victory Field here in Indy to catch a game. Ottawa was in town, wrapping up a series, and I knew Andy was playing for them (he had a single make the highlights on our news the other night
).
Fast forward to the 7th, the first time he came to the plate while both of us were in our seats... we start a rather impressive two-man "BG-SU" chant, and he ropes a single to center. He comes up again in the 9th and we step it up, breaking out into a full blown AZZ, then the BG-SU chant a few pitches into the AB and he takes a walk. Ottawa lost on a 9th inning HR, but we saw him come out of the dugout to sign some autographs/talk to friends/whatever, so we went down to say hi. As we got closer, Kurt belts out a "Go BG!" to which Andy looks up and says "Hey, were you the guys singing AZZ earlier?"
We chatted briefly and he had to take off. We'll be checking the schedule for Ottawa's return trip to Indy, for sure.
If ya happen to read around here, Andy, good luck with your career, and the rest of ya... if you catch that Ottawa is coming through to play the Mud Hens, wear orange, sit down the first base line and yell like the idiots I know you all are. He really seemed to appreciate the brown and orange support.
