More baseball, different game, different company, they won

And for my 7th professional baseball game ever, I sat behind home plate on the first base line and just rows behind all the somebodies. Jon scored tickets through someone at Lockheed Martin who couldn't go. Thanks to his quick moving, he ended up with two tickets and asked me along. Thanks Jon!

Ah...Mr. Tulowitzki! I like this kid. He's so intense! And he's fun to watch. He's out on the injured/disabled list at the moment with 18 stitches in his hand. Apparently in an emotional moment in the tunnel, he broke a bat on the cement walls and it shattered into his hand.

Mr. Todd Helton. He's out on the injured/disabled list now too. Back spasms and disc problems I hear.

Mr. Matt Holliday. The Rockies played great! They played their shortest game ever in Coors Field. They won and that's all that mattered to me.

Take Me Out To the Ball Game

My friend Mike Mulligan graciously invited me to a Rockies/San Diego Padres game in late June. Let's see here....This is now my 6th time to the ball park, and these were fantastic seats

I, like millions of other people, really like Matt Holiday. Here he is playing "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" with the pitcher and first baseman.

Mike and myself enjoying the game. The funny thing is that I thought the two teen-age boys sitting behind us were a boy/girl couple. One of the boys must have been pre-voice change. I thought they were pretty stupid for a dating couple, until Mike told me that they were all of 13 or 14 years old. Then I had to laugh!

Mr. Willie Taveras hitting the ball and taking off for first base. I don't remember if he made it or not. The Rockies didn't end up winning this game:(
