    There are a few seats left on a bus trip to Camden Yard in Baltimore Aug. 8th, 9th and 10th to watch Josh Hamilton and the Rangers play the Orioles.

    The deluxe motor coach will leave Raleigh at 9:00am on Friday August 8, 2008. We will be staying for 2 nights and attend games Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon and then leave for home after the game. Our seats for the 3 games are lower level field boxes, where Josh may be playing in rightfield.

    The total cost is $395.00 per person double occupancy.

    To reserve a space please call Broach Tours at 1-800-849-6345.

    Some close friends of Josh are going with us so hopefully all the kids will get to meet him.

    There are only a few seats left so call ASAP.

    This is a great deal. For all those who have had an opportunity to see Josh play in HS, wouldn't it be exciting to see him at the Pro Level....and probably a chance to meet him!? I know some kids that would be thrilled

    I knew Josh all through little league and high school. Some friends and I are up here in Baltimore right now to catch the game this afternoon. Hopefully the rain stays away. We plan on getting in there as soon as the gates open and we found tickets 5 rows behind the Rangers dugout. Definitely excited to see Josh. Haven't seen him or talked to him in several years although my dad and sister have.

    Didn't get a chance to. Only time he was really ever "within reach" was when he was being swarmed by autograph seekers. A couple we were with that knew him got a chance to before the Saturday night game but we hadn't got to the ballpark yet. We hollered at him from the OF fence when he was in RF, but some jerk beside us heckled him the whole time so of course Josh "couldn't hear us".

    It was cool up there though. Lots of people wearing "Hamilton" jerseys... and even quite a few NC State fans. My guess is that there was a decent amount of NC folks up there since Baltimore is as close as he comes this summer.

    and BTW -- Josh is going to put on a show in the homerun derby if nerves don't get the best of him. Watching him taking BP at Camden Yards was almost like watching him hit with a metal bat years ago at Athens Dr. HS.
