1. Because I (9-year old Dirk) have had 12 days of good behavior - a record winning streak!

2. Because my Dad will write a YourHub.com story about our Sweet Rockies Suite with lots of pictures!

3. Because I want to catch a foul ball.

4. Because I have never seen the Arizona Diamondback's play and want to see if they really deserve to be first place in the NL Western Division (due to Dirk's school schedule, he can only attend the September 30th Sunday matinee).

5. Because meter parking is free on Sunday's and we can use that money to buy Dip-n-Dots and a giant Foam Finger.

6. Because I'd like to watch my favorite player Kazuo Matsui play.

7. Because my 6-year old brother Kyle can watch his favorite player - Brad Hop (yes, that's how he spells it).

8. Because my Mom will have an afternoon to herself without the kids.

9. Because then my parents might understand why it is more important for me to figure out baseball stats rather than work on my math homework.

10. Because my teacher said that dinosaurs don't exist anymore, but what about Dinger?

11. Because I've been practicing "take me out to the ballgame" song for the 7th inning stretch and I can't wait to eat some Cracker Jacks.

12. Because I'll wear my YourHub.com hat to the game (see picture) while screaming at the top of my lungs - GO ROCKIES!

Dirk's Dad took his sons to their first Colorado Rockies game on July 29th. He'd like to take 'em to another on September 30th.
