~Petco Park~
~June 20, 2007 Orioles vs. Padres~
~June 22, 2007 Red Sox vs. Padres~
Tony Gwynn Drive - the man deserves the whole peninsula! | Outside of the park - to me, sadly, this was the best part. Oh - I had to pour out my open water bottle before entering. ?!? |
The field with San Diego in background. | Will someone let these kids out? :-) They were waiting for home run batting practice balls. |
Ok - jalapenos out number onions 2 to 1, but they are all REAL! | Family picnic and play area beyond left field. |
Home team bull pen - nice and safe behind the fence... | Visiting team bull pen... what? You can't see it? It is that mound along the right foul line.... |
Countdown for Tony. |
Nice poster of Trevor Hoffman. I didn't get to see him pitch. The game circumstances were never right for him to come in. |
The Padre himself... I just missed the chicken by 3 games... they were saving him for the game on July 4. | Lineups. |
Action shot... | Actually it was a pretty boring game, until..... Yep - a guy ran out on the field and the security team tackled him. |
See - it was a pretty boring game.... and it wasn't even as close as the score. |
|
NOW FOR THE BIG MATCHUP!!! Red Sox vs. Padres! Dice-K vs. Maddux! |
|
It was 80s retro night. Even the scoreboard was in retro font. | Big Papi after he took batting practice with an aluminum bat. |
Big Papi as Mr. T. | Lineups |
Greg as... um... I guess they couldn't 80 him up. | Dice-K. This is why he had early success - can't see the ball during the wind up. |
Ball hit back to Maddux. | Final score - yep - I saw Maddux in person - Maddux lost. |
