Yesterday afternoon as I finished up work for the week, my phone beeped and I had a new text message.
“Want to go to the Phillies game? Extra ticket, leaving in 30 minutes.”
I was dressed and out the door in under 5!
What a fun game to watch. Had front row seats in the 300 level along the first base line.
Got a great view of the entire field. Saw Chase Utley commit two early errors but.. hey it happens. Rather now than in game 7 of the World Series right?
The minor league affiliate mascots were at the game including Ferrous, FeFe, Screwball and the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor from Reading. I’m not too familiar with the others.. . but they were there too.
The Reds also had their fair share of errors last night as well. For a team that led the National league in fewest errors.. they looked rough last night. Must have been all the rally towel lint snowing down on them. After the now infamous error in right field, the fans were chanting, “Thank you Jay Bruce” and they let out a loud cheer the next time a fly ball headed his way and he caught it. Who says the Philly fans can’t be courteous to opposing players 🙂
I gave out a few Sign the K! yells to Drew Stubbs, just for general principle.
Attending the game with a veggietarian I did try my first vegan burger.. not great, not bad. Tasted like burnt mexican rice.. but I like mexican rice so.. try one for yourself. Also learned that PETA (Yes Rolf, PETA reference for you 🙂 has rated Citizen’s Bank Park as the best vegan friendly park in baseball. I guess we can put that right next to bubbles and free balloons!
Altogether, a great experience. If you’ve never been to a playoff game with that kind of energy.. I recommend you try to take one in.
OinK!
