The weather was beautiful, why not go to the Ballpark?
I have discovered the fun of choosing seats off Stub Hub. Sometimes, in fact most of the time, the seat selection is better than that off the official site. Logic says it is because there are season ticket holders selling off the seats they aren’t using.
I restrained myself and didn’t buy junk food even though that seems to be one of the things you are supposed to do at the ball park.
What follows are some photos grabbed from the first row just to the right of center field. I like sitting up and looking down at the field. I can see the whole field and I can actually see the batter swinging. It is too bad the As weren’t having as good a time as I….
-
- the field at the beginning with the baseball equivalent of the Zamboni
-
- Angels vs Athletics
-
- starting picture
-
- engaged in pitching ballet
-
- fans, with drums, flags and a lot of noise
-
- perfect ball over the plate
-
- headed for the throw
-
- see the ball?
-
- oops
-
- caught
-
- there have been enough runs – have the ball
-
- every home game there is a race…..
Oh – and the final score? 7-1 (and not the As). Chart lifted from the As website.
