"Guys we need to go as soon as we've finished playing this game." Sam said
looking at her watch.
"Why? Are we supposed to be going somewhere?" Daniel asked.
"I thought you all might like to meet a friend of mine. But we really have to leave with the next twenty minutes if we're going to get there on time."
"Where exactly are we going?" Jack inquired as Teal'c took his last turn.
"It's a surprise sir. Do you trust me to drive your car?" Sam asked.
"Am I going to have to?" Jack asked.
"It would be easier if I drove as I know where I'm gong." Sam replied.
"Fine, but if you even put so much as a scratch on it you're paying for it." Jack warned her.
"Yes sir." Sam smiled.

"Sam, that's Coors Field." Jack said as Sam drove into the stadium parking lot.
"Coors where?" Daniel asked.
"Coors Field. It's home of the Colorado Rockies baseball team." Jack informed him. "Carter, why are we here."
"Like I said I have a friend I'd like you to meet, he was able to get us some tickets."
"Who exactly do you know?" Jack asked as she reversed the car neatly into a parking space.
"Just a guy who used to be friends with my brother's. I've known him for about ten years. He always said to look him up when I'm in Denver and since we didn't have plans for tonight and he could get us tickets I thought why not." She got out of the car and the others joined her. Sam locked the door and the central locking took care of the others. She tossed the keys to Jack. "This way." Sam led them across the lot to the player's entrance.
"I'm afraid you can't go any further." A beefy security guard said stopping them. "The main entrance is around the corner."
"I'm Samantha Carter. I'm expected." Sam informed him. He spoke into his radio mike.
"Of course Miss Carter, a Samantha Carter plus three. If you go straight down there corridor and turn left at the end Curt will meet you there."
"Thank you. Come on guys." Sam said leading them down the corridor.
"Carter who exactly is Curt?" Jack demanded.
"Curtis Leskanic, he's a pitcher for the Rockies he's on the injury list at the moment but he always comes along for moral support." Sam supplied.
"And you know him personally?" Jack said stunned.
"He wasn't very good at science. But once I explain the aerodynamics of pitching he got better." Sam said with a smile.
"Sam." Curtis Leskanic met her at the door. "Long time no see. How've you been?"
"Good Curt. It was great that you could get us tickets at the last minute." Sam said as she gave him a hug.
"Anything for my golden girl. Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"
"Of course. This is my CO Colonel Jack O'Neill, my friends Daniel and Teal'c. Guys this is Curtis."
"It's nice to meet you." Daniel said shaking his good hand. The other was strapped to his chest.
"It is an honour." Teal'c said with a nod. Jack just stood speechless.
"Forgive him, he's a little stunned." Sam apologised for Jack. "Colonel O'Neill." Sam said raising the inflection in her voice. Jack snapped out of it.
"Sorry nice to meet you."
"You too. Sammy do you want to come and say hello to the guys again?" Curtis asked.
"It's been a while. But sure why not. Guys do you want to meet the rest of the Rockies?" Sam asked.
"Indeed." Teal'c replied. "That would be most enjoyable."
"Hey guys Sammy's back." Curtis yelled as they entered the locker room.
"Platoon hup." One of them yelled and they all snapped to attention.
"Very funny." Sam said with a smile.
"I thought you were going to come out and see us more since you got transferred to Colorado." One of the coaches said as he gave her a hug.
"The Air Force keeps me pretty busy." She apologised. "But it's great to see you all again."
After another ten minutes of introductions it was time for the team to go and warm.
"Come on I'll show you to the families box, you can watch from there." Curtis told her.
"I haven't been to a game in long time. Last time I came to visit you were in the middle of training."
"It just means you should come more often." He teased. " It's just up the steps. I'll come and find you later enjoy the game."
"Thanks Curt. I'll see you later." Sam said with a smile.
"You know the Colorado Rockies." Jack repeated.
"Yes sir we've been over that. Can we just watch the Sunday night baseball please?" Jack nodded as they went to sit down.
A/N: Coors Field is the home of the Colorado Rockies. Curtis Leskanic did play for them in 1997/98, but as I'm English and have limited knowledge of Baseball forgive anything I say about it and the players.
