Sharon
headed off to the United States during August 1999
Brett
was playing for the Kane County Cougars,
the Single "A" affiliate of the Florida Marlins
The Cougars are based in Aurora, Illinois and this is near Chicago
Sharon
was able to stay with Brett's host family - Robin and Diane Renner,
and their two boys, Brett and Brady (to stop any confusion in the house, "our Brett"
had been renamed "Big Brett")
Sharon
had a great time - saw a bit of the USA,
went to her first Major League Baseball game (at Wrigley Field),
and was lucky enough to see Brett hit a home run at
Elfstrom Stadium, the home of the Cougars
