My baseball team & I (that is who I would take to the game) deserve to watach the Rockies in a suite. By the way, if I win, my team & I can't go to the August 8th game against Milwaukee because we will be in Cooperstown, NY playing our hearts out in a 96 team tournament. All of us on my baseball team are very competitive. We argue about everything and anything concerning baseball! Whether a the pitcher is fasat or slow, if the ball was hard hit or not or if the ball took a bad hope or if he wasn't in front of the ball. Those are just a few things we argue about. Our assistant coach tells us that if you hit the ball on the very front side of the bat & tomahawk, the ball will go further. Some of my teammates & I don't believe that! At the Rockies game, we can see how each player swings and talk about it. We can then decide as a whole which swing gets the ball further-tomahawking the ball or a level swing. We can also watch our positions to see what to do in each situation. I could babble on forever on why my team & I should win but I don't think that's necessary. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I really appreciate it.

With hope,

Austin Jacobs
