I Was There.

I attended the game at Citizens Bank Park yesterday, and it's an amazing, beautiful ballpark. My watering hole was Harry the K's where I could get a glass of wine or a mixed drink, fun place to go to get out of the sun while watching the game. I was pleasently surprised by how big the crowd was, then again it was a Sunday game and it was Memorial Day weekend, so yeah. Nice crowd, lots of families attending the game. Talked with many baseball fans, and had a lot of fun.

As for where I sat, I was right behind Bobby Abreu in right field, and in between innings when Abreu was throwing to A-Row, everyone in the stands would call "BOBBY! BOBBY THOW US ONE! BOBBY OVER HERE!" Then right before the game started he would throw the ball randomly into the stands. If Abreu didn't comply he was either booed or fans just sulked away disappointed. Overall-good times!

I couldn't find an Aaron Rowand shirt though, they must of sold out of them, or haven't had any in stock yet!

As for me, I went by myself by taking the train and then the subway there. Can't wait to go back on Wednesday, May 31st for the game against the Nationals.

The Phils played some good baseball yesterday, and Madison was amazing. Not bad for a 22 year old kid, and he did nicely, except in the second inning where the Brew Crew hit 2 homers and got booed immensly from the crowd.

Here are some articles from yesterdays game, both from the Inky.
