Where are the home runs when you need them?

On Friday we went down to Phoenix to see a Seattle Mariners Spring Training game. Right before the fifth inning started I heard my wife's seat announced on the PA system for some contest. The PA system at this place absolute sucked. I heard the seat information clear, "Section 115, Row C, Seat 14", Then all I heard was some garbled static and noise. This sort of thing went on the whole game, "Now batting for your Seattle Mariners...something unintelligible." No one but myself heard the message. My wife does not generally get very excited for these things and and once I told she was like, "we'll check it after the game." But my mother law, who came to game also, said "Don't you want to check!? You should really check. Give me your ticket, I'll check for you." One thing you need to realize about my mother in-law, she frequents her local gambling establishment quite a bit. Her casino gives away free stuff all the time and she takes part in their giveaways fairly religiously. So once she realized that her daughter might win something for free she jumped to action like a five year old at Christmas. We waited for about fifteen minutes and when she returned, "If any player hits a home run in this inning you'll win a new car." Cool right? Not single home run was hit until the ninth inning. But it sure was fun thinking we might win car for those six at bats.
