RevHF Update: Alan Falcon is a long-time Site Member who once wore a Halos Heaven Tee Shirt when he took the mound for a ceremonial first pitch before an Angels game. While I am opposed to people pushing product here on the site, i am also supportive of people following their dream. Download the guy's app and spread the word, this guy is you and I, he bleeds 100% Halo.

Here is his pitch...

I thought I would never do this. But here I am so I'm just going to get it out there.

Last year I had a baby and quit my awesome job at Blizzard because I wasn't making enough money to keep living in California if my wife was going to be able to stay at home with our newborn. We moved to Las Vegas and now live with my wife's father. I spent most of the past year starting a company and making an iPhone game, Beat Boxes, which I finally released late last year.

On a Summer day without baseball the Halos Heaven faithful trekked through the hundred degree Vegas heat to go enjoy America's other favorite pastime: Pinball!  10,000 square feet of pinball machines but our tournament focused on just five of them. I won't spoil who won the tournament, but you can check out the photo after the jump to see for yourself.

Rather than try to tell you about the experience, I put together a short video that will give you the best of the sights and sounds from Tom Arnold's Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame Pinball Museum!

Sincerely: Thanks, everyone. I discovered this site during Spring Training and never felt more involved with the team ever since. I finally joined up on April 7th, figuring that with the season beginning I could add my voice to the fray.

Then tragedy struck, and boy it struck hard, deeply and personally. Rev, your Adenhart memorial post remains the most beautiful and eloquent thing I've read on the subject to this day. You guys, you helped me process my own emotions, and my own reaction to Nick's death. I wish I knew better how to express how much this helped me, but words fail here and so I can't even try.

I remember earlier in the season, Rev predicted that we'd have one more series in the Metrodome, in October.  Well, that will no longer come to pass as the Yankees completed their own ALDS sweep to set up the matchup Friday in New York.

So my company is buying a lot of tickets to a Saturday game, September 26.  As a result, apparently, the Angels have allowed them to select someone to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the ballgame.  To select this person, the company held an internal random drawing for all interested employees.  And, amazingly, I was informed yesterday that I won said drawing.  Wow.

So I guess if anyone wants to see a fellow HHer down on the field trying desperately not to make a fool of themself, you might consider being at the ballpark in a couple weeks. 

The main part of this FanPost though is to ask the HH community for tips, advice, personal stories, etc.  Anything you got on the subject, I'd like to hear it.  Has anyone else had this opportunity?  What was it like?  Is my friend and co-worker going to be allowed on the field with me to get some closeup pictures?  Will I kick myself later if I don't encourage my non-baseball-fan family members to come to the game?  Should I be wearing Angels clothing?  My company's clothing (it's certainly no lame company but I don't think I'm supposed to really go around saying where I work)?  Some kind of hybrid?  The cryptic "numbers" shirt?  Del Ninja?  Is it too late to order either of those and get them in time?  Is this all some kind of messed up dream and I'll wake up and find out I won no such prize?

I'd love your thoughts.  Please share!  And hopefully I'll see you at the game!
