Roaring Good Time<br />
During Summer Youth Trip<br />
This year’s summer youth trip took participants, leaders, parents<br />
and Co-op employees to Comerica Park in Detroit to watch a Tiger<br />
baseball game. Four air-conditioned tour buses made several stops<br />
around the area (Deckerville, Sebewaing and Blumfield) to load the<br />
248 people making the trip. Upon arrival, the buses were parked and<br />
the group proceeded to the upper deck where a lunch was waiting<br />
for them. The lunch was served from noon until game time at 1:05 pm.<br />
Hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, pasta salad, beans, chips and<br />
drinks rounded out the meal. It was a very beautiful day. The temperature<br />
was 75 degrees with clear skies and lots of sunshine. Even though<br />
there was a slight breeze, it was warm sitting in the middle of the<br />
upper level bleachers behind home and first. Because the sun was<br />
hitting everyone directly in this section, and because there were plenty<br />
of empty seats throughout the stadium, some people opted to move<br />
higher and get under the top roof out of the direct sun.<br />

The field and stadium were spectacular and there was a great view<br />
of downtown, the GM building and other Detroit landmarks.<br />
It was a very good game with lots of action. Detroit beat the Washington<br />
Nationals 8-3. Jeremy Bonderman was pitching for seven innings, had<br />
seven strikeouts and only five hits. Migel Cabrera hit a double off the<br />
fence and scored two runs. Brennan Boesch made a diving grab in left<br />
field and also saved a home run when the centerfielder caught one by<br />
jumping up on the wall. There was one double play and lots of other<br />
exciting plays.<br />
The return trip was a bit arduous because of the traffic around the<br />
stadium and it was rush hour (I-75 was bumper to bumper, stop and go).<br />
Needless to say, it took an hour longer to get home than it did to get<br />
there. In spite of that, it was a good trip because the bus drivers had to<br />
contend with the traffic and everyone else could relax. n<br />
