MLB Umpire Fieldin Culbreth was great. We threatened to heckle him during the game, and he said he'd halt the game and point us out to the entire stadium if we heckled him :) So of course, it was all I could do to keep Kiethen from doing that during the game. He had a great time. Labels: bbbs, cederstrom, crew, culbreth, mlb, reynolds, tex, timmons

My 'Little Brother' (Ryan) was thrilled with the opportunity to go 'behind-the-scenes' for a meeting with Mr. Culbreth and to sit in the great location you had picked out for us. Your program is an incredible asset for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and Ryan and I were both extremely honored to be one of the first matches to benefit from the program in Arizona. Ryan is a huge fan of MLB, and it was great for him to meet the 'men in blue' on a personal level. To top it off, the D-Backs won a close one in the 9th!!

GUEST COMMENT (Adam) I just wanted to send a quick response this morning in appreciation of sending my 'little' brother Logan and I to the Brewers game yesterday. Everything involved in the event: being escorted around the Brewers grounds by Katina, meeting and talking with umpire Fieldin Culbreth, the merchandise and food, and the incredible seats for the game and subsequent Brewers victory was absolutely fabulous. I know Logan thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was gushing after the day was over. Thanks again for yesterday and putting on similar events for other kids like Logan in the future.
