Back in the 1980s I was a copywriter at the advertising agency for Chevrolet, and one of my assignments was to help them sell trucks. As such I have a long history with and a deep affinity for the Silverado. I’m also a baseball fan, so when a representative from Chevrolet called and offered me a ticket to the 2015 MLB All-Star game and a new Silverado pickup as transportation from my home in Wisconsin to the game in Cincinnati, I was all in.
