Don't foul out at the senior center

I believe that I deserve to win the 11 tickets to the Rockies game, because my fellow co-workers at the West Boulder Senior Center have given me grief about being a "true" Rockies fan.
For example, some of my employees really got into the World Cup. I had to listen to all the updates every day. In the hallways, by the copier, talk, talk, talk about what country beat out what country and who was advancing to the next level. Even the television was tuned to the soccer games. You would ask them a work related question and they would respond by naming off countries. But I always chimed in with "what about those Rockies". They just laughed. One of my co-workers even asked if the Rockies were a soccer team........ Soccer is not considered the Nations sport.
The City of Boulder Senior's even had a trip scheduled to see the Rockies and the tickets didn't sell, so we had to try and sell the tickets. I asked, "Where are the tickets"? #U343. I checked the stadium seats and realized the seats where way up at the top. I told the programmer, there's no way seniors could even see Matt Holiday. She said, "Who's Matt Holiday"? That statement alone should consider me in the running for a chance to win these tickets. It's basically in crisis mode, here at the Senior Center.
If I'm chosen as the lucky winner, I would bring my fellow co-workers to the game to educate them on the game of baseball, America's favorite pastime and Colorado's finest team. For all I know, they may think that when I refer to Matsui, that it's an Asian dish for lunch being offered by Meals On Wheels. Please help and save baseball at the Senior Center. I believe my co-workers would step up to the plate if they had the opportunity to experience the Rockies first hand and they would never foul out again!
