MIDLAND, Mich. — During the Great Lakes Loons' home opener against the Lake County Captains, an avid spectator had journeyed hundreds of miles just to see a significant event unfold.
Monica Judice traveled all the way from Lafayette, Louisiana, to cheer for her son-in-law, Kole Myers, as he took the field for his inaugural professional baseball match.
Monica stated, "It took us two days to travel here from Lafayette, Louisiana." She also mentioned, "This year, he was recruited by the Dodgers; previously, he played for Troy University in Alabama."
Kole Myers, making his first appearance as a Loon, connected with Monica's daughter due to their family’s deep bond with baseball.
Monica remarked, it’s incredible since he really got to know her via my son, who was part of the LSU team.
For Monica, witnessing Kole and her daughter start this new phase of life is nothing short of a dream realized.
She remarked, 'It’s wonderful to realize that dreams can become real because at this moment, it seems as though we’re living in a dream.'
The Great Lakes Loons will debut a fresh idea known as Foodie Fridays, featuring menu items rarely seen at ballparks. The weekend will be even more thrilling with the unveiling of the team’s new red jerseys on Saturday followed by Kids Day on Sunday, when children get complimentary meals and have the opportunity to run around the bases.
