I drove with my family from Colorado to Arizona to see a few games (and the Grand Canyon).

Since the last time I’ve commented here, I and some college friends have started a sports/humor blog, so I thought I would see how possible it was to get a media credential to one of the games. I hounded the Dbacks media guy by email from the moment I had the idea (a month before the trip) right through the fifth inning of the actual game that I was attending. Finally, after the game is over, he writes back, saying, “Come get your credential in the media office.”

I literally ran to get my credential in time to interview a pitcher named Charles Brewer in the clubhouse. (He’s since been optioned to the AA Mobile BayBears.) I’m pretty sure that spring training is the only time that could happen, but it’s not going to stop me from trying to get a pass to interview Jamie Moyer at a Rockies game.

Here’s the post with the video if you’re interested:
