Dad cancels family trip to Disneyland because of Diamondbacks’ FanFest

It’s still early in January but it appears we have our nomination for the 2011 A-hole of the Year award. The designation goes to none other than Jeff Summers who canceled a family trip to Disneyland because his precious Arizona Diamondbacks were holding FanFest the same week. No really, this guy is serious enough to even write a blog post about it. Apparently, last year, he almost flipped out when his daughter got married in April and he was unaware of the Diamondbacks schedule at the time.
Thought your significant others’ fandom was over-the-top? It’s nothing compared to this poor schlub.
The date of the trip was February so I was pretty confident that there wouldn’t be a problem with baseball. Everything seemed like a go. My wife and kids have been looking forward to this since school started.
So last week when my son brought home the details of the trip I was shocked to find out the actual date. According to the calendar they have chosen the second week in February to be in Disneyland, which incidentally is the same week as the annual Diamondbacks FanFest.
What could the school possibly be thinking? Depriving kids from the opportunity to go down onto the playing surface at Chase Field seemed more like detention to me. I tried calling the school to express my concerns but instead of understanding I was met with blank stares. Surely they were not going to go through with this, would they?
Don’t worry, dear ‘ol dad has a message for his kids. Disneyland be damned, it doesn’t hold a candle to the #1 place on the earth–the Diamondbacks clubhouse.
So while the other kids will be forced to eat Mickey Bars, ride Space Mountain, and visit Donald Duck; my kids will get to tour the Diamondbacks clubhouse, play whiffleball with Diamondbacks players, sample ballpark food, and meet Baxter.
