Game Debut

ALLENTOWN, PA - Wearing her fashionable pink Phillies outfit (soon to be replaced with her Iron Pigs Ferrous T-shirt) young right-hander Autumn Grace Harper went the full nine innings (only taking time out for one bottle) in her minor league debut with the Iron Pigs at Coca-Cola Park. As any 9-month plus rookie would do in her first time out to the big ball park, Autumn was fascinated with her surroundings, most notably with the large video board on the scoreboard behind her as she sat on the grass beyond the left center field wall with Mom, Dad, Gramma, Grandpop and Aunt Lori. Although sometimes distracted by the cheering of the large crowd, she maintained her focus when it came to watching her family eat chili-cheese nachos and strangers feasting on funnel cake, while she laughed at the young fans running around the KidsZone, knowing full well her time would come for both. As she was paraded around the concourse of the stadium wearing her trademark heart bedecked red hat, she stopped to wave (in her own unique way) to the fans in the stands as if to say, "I'll be back", knowing this would be the first of many appearances for Autumn Grace at Coca-Cola Park. At the post-game meal at Red Robins, Autumn slept while her entourage ate. She did eventually awake to raise a bottle to her successful debut. Oh...as for the game...the IronPigs won 5-3!
