Last night, the girls and I spent the game up on the concourse auctioning off our hubbies' favorite items for charity. Included in each auction were signed memorabilia, tickets to a game, and specific things that make the guys who they are. Included in our tackle box was:

We were thrilled with the turnout and so thankful for all the fans eager to support our men and our charities! Adam's tackle box ended up selling for $1,000!!
The lucky - no, persistent is better -winners!! About a month ago, Adam was interviewed by a young man, maybe ten years old. This boy's father found Adam's tackle box and stopped at nothing to win it for his boy!!
Next to Adam's tackle box was Derek Dietrich and then Ichiro. The girls' goal was to raise $10,000 total for our charities. In the most heated auction I've ever witnessed, the bid kept increasing higher and higher...
...until our winner was crowned!!!!!
She won a signed Ichiro bobblehead, a signed Ichiro t-shirt, a signed baseball, and a signed baseball bat...for SIXTEEN THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!!!
Our total raised last night was $30,727.000! THREE times the amount that was raised last year! Thanks for all the generous support, Fish Fans! Amelia and I had SUCH a good time putting the finishing touches on Daddy's tackle box and the girls and I had and equally perfect time selling it all!! GO FISH!!
