Royalty reunites with ballpark chaser, Sharon McCard at Citi Field!

Sharon McCard with the King and I

Last August when the King and I went to Baltimore to see the Orioles play at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, we got to meet up with another ballpark chaser while we were there. Her name is Sharon McCard and she happens to be a big Met fan even though she lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania of all places. Ironically my parents have a place there too.

On Saturday afternoon, Sharon showed up at Citi Field for the first time. It was the 25th different ballpark she has been to she said. Some of them she's been to are no longer around. She still has a number of places to get to. She knows when she needs any assistance, royalty is here to help speed up the process.

She wound up driving to Philadelphia where she caught a bus that was taking people to the game. She said she was one of three Met fans that were on the bus. Since the Phillies were playing the Mets, it was an opportunity for their fans to take a road trip to NYC.

As a result, Sharon decided to join them. Even though the Mets lost two of the three games, she picked the right one to attend as it turned out. It must have been a tough ride back for the majority of the people on the bus who saw their Phillies lose.

As for their seats in the ballpark, they were sitting by the home run apple out in centerfield. Wisely she decided to give herself an upgrade. Despite being afraid of heights, she came up to the "royal" box if you will in section 516 row 3 where the King and I sit.

Luckily we had one open seat available for Sharon. She wound up watching most of the game with us. We enjoyed each other's company.

I want to personally thank Sharon for joining us. It was an absolute pleasure to have her.

Hopefully we'll hook up at a ballpark again soon.

Thank you for reading and following along.

Yours truly,

Sharon McCard another Ballpark Chaser meets up with Royalty at Camden Yards!

Me, Sharon and the King

Sunday morning I woke up and I put my Blackberry on in preparation for the day ahead.

I noticed an e-mail from Sharon(24), another ballpark chaser who had a change in her plans.

Thanks to the ballpark chasers website, which is also on my blog list, this get together became a reality.

I suggest that you go to their site so you can join up if you haven't already done so.

As a result, she knew that Royalty was going to be at Camden Yards for the Oriole game against the Rangers at 1:35PM.

I wrote her back and said that's awesome. I look forward to meeting and greeting you.

She said she was going to be at Pickle's Pub at 11AM or she would come up to section 336. In addition, she said she'll be wearing a Met hat.

On my way to the game, I did stop by Pickle's Pub to try and look for her but it was so crowded that I thought better of it.

My friend the King and I decided to go into the ballpark.

We went upstairs to section 336 and we sat up high like we normally do behind home plate.

Luckily, we got up there just before a passing shower decided to come through that delayed the start of the game 21 minutes.

Shortly after the game got under way, I noticed a lady looking up with a Mets shirt on without a hat.

I got her attention and I waved to her to come on up.

She took her time and she joined us for the remainder of the game.

She told me she was afraid of heights. I started to feel bad. She said it wasn't that bad for her.

I told her she made my day.

She decided to meet us to and she braved her fear of heights in the process. That made me feel really special.

We spoke throughout the game about our past travel adventures and her passion for the 1969 Mets.

She told me she was from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I told her my parents have a place there.

I told her we were going to back to Philadelphia on Labor Day for a day/night doubleheader.

Needless to say, I told her she's more than welcome to join us.

She said she'll think about it.

I hope she does, I look forward to enjoying her company again.

I asked her if she liked any other sports but she said baseball is the only one she likes.

I told her let me know your needs and wants and I'll assist you to the best of my ability in achieving your goal of getting to all the new parks that you still need.

Like myself and others I know, she needs to do it as cost effectively and as efficiently as possible.

With that being said, she has met the right person who can help her make that happen.

Royalty thrives on exactly that.

When you want the absolute best for the least you know where to go.

Royalty caters to all that are interested.

If so, all you have to do is let me know. I can make things better instantly.

When you deal with royalty and show the loyalty, you'll reap the rewards.

Sharon is a prime example. I strongly suggest that you follow her lead.

If she decided to just stay home, nothing would have happened in a positive light for her baseball wise.

I want to thank her again for joining us.

Thank you for reading.

Yours truly,
